My students are bright, energetic children at our Title One school, who need loads of encouragement and materials to help them succeed in this evolving world. Although they attend our low-income/high poverty school, they are motivated to achieve success. They deserve to benefit from everything life has to offer, without worry, especially access to reading engaging books in English, which is not the first language for most of their parents. Due to our low income status, our teachers must purchase support materials on our own, which is a very challenging, in addition to our full plates planning and teaching. Since I will be teaching 2nd grade for the first time this year, I donated all of my 5th grade books to the new 5th grade teacher. I now faced the daunting task of finding engaging reading books for my 2nd grade learners, many of whom do not have any reading books in their own homes. Thank you for considering us!
