Mrs. Phelps Chapman Elementary School
Portland, OR Grades PreK-2

My classroom is an economically diverse group of motivated learners. They are inquisitive and eager to learn more about real people and events.

Our reading adoption introduces students to Ben Franklin and the Wright Brothers. I would like to introduce my students to biographies about people from different times, and with different contributions to the world.

I would like to create an independent reading book tub titled "Biographies" to add to the other book tubs I have in my classroom.

Your help will provide my students with the materials to learn about different people who have contributed to or made an impact on the world.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.

More than half of students from low‑income households
