This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our 5th grade ICT classroom has 21 students with a substantial amount of students receiving special education services. They are a part of the Lower East Side community, one which is vibrant and diverse. Many of our students speak Spanish and come from immigrant families. The majority of our students are living in poverty, and especially need access to technology and quality resources to be successful in school and beyond.
They are curious and excited learners!
They are children who are so deserving of your donations.
My Project
Our students can't get enough graphic novels! I've heard several students say they didn't know they enjoyed reading until this year, because they've discovered graphic novels. Students who couldn't sit still during independent reading are so engrossed with their books I need to ask them to put away their books several times. We need even more options in our library.
Graphic novels draw in even the most reluctant readers in our room!
We need more options for our students, and this 10 pack will be a great start to building our graphic novel classroom library. Picture support will help our students with lower level reading comprehension and help them build the stamina to develop good reading habits.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
