Support Mrs. Metropoulos' classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
My students are great kids who are often growing up in less than ideal circumstances. Many of my students come from broken homes and they witness violence in their streets. My school has many students living in poverty, a high level of students receive special educations services, and English is not the first language of a large group of students. My class is a mixed group of learners who like to explore different genres of reading. My library consists of books that have been donated, but are outdated and in disrepair. Research shows that if students read daily they are more successful. In order to foster the interest, students need the opportunity to select books which will encourage them to become "hooked on books." This project will allow for meaningful reading by our students, which will ensure their journey to become lifelong learners.
