My school is known for its diversity. We are located in a Brooklyn neighborhood just north of Coney Island. Several of our students are from foreign countries and are learning English. This is a challenge when the New York State English Language Arts exam is so very important in the 7th grade. As an English teacher, I try to keep my students interested and engaged while reading and practicing reading strategies. It helps to have new and current books when engaging 13-year-olds to read. Our school is rather large for a middle school, and we recently lost our Title 1 funding, which means finding the money in our budget for schools supplies, such as new books, can be difficult. That is what brought me to Donors Choose.
