A Big Universe For Little Learners

My students need a class subscription to Big Universe eBooks to develop reading skills and enrich their learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lacour's classroom raised $393

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

My students are fortunate to have 2 computers and 2 iPads in our classroom. Our school also has a computer lab where all of my students can access technology at the same time. Please help me provide content for these computers and devices in the form of eBooks.

My transitional kindergarten students are learning to read and write.

They attend a high poverty school where many of them qualify for the free or reduced-price lunch program. Some of them are learning English for the first time, and some have learning disabilities and special needs that require accommodations for their learning. All of them are eager learners who love anything related to technology!

My Project

I am requesting a class subscription of Big Universe ebooks and digital content. This subscription will last a year, and includes many eBooks and material from publishers such as Weekly Reader, Zoo Books and Tanglewood Press. The animations are clever and motivational. The content includes both nonfiction and fiction. The nonfiction content will provide informational material to help us learn grade level science and social studies standards. Using Big Universe eBooks, my students will develop skills such as rhyming, letter recognition, story comprehension and more. The eBooks are perfect for my students' age level. I am asking for the class subscription because we have a computer lab at my school, and all of my students will be able to access this content at once in the lab.

Your donations will help to provide fun, informative and engaging Big Universe eBooks and digital content that will help my students learn grade level standards across many content areas.

By donating to this project, you can double your donation because AKJ books is offering to match donations to Big Universe! Thank you for reading this proposal and for helping public schools through DonorsChoose!
