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
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” ― Dr. Seuss.
I want my students to be able to read at their grade level so that they can access information just as their general ed peers.
My school is a cornerstone of a rural community with a high poverty rate. Our school staff strives to provide the students with a positive, safe, and nurturing environment where they can grow academically and as individuals. My students are those who require specialized instruction in order to experience success. They face hurdles that cannot be comprehended by the majority. They have an incredible amount of potential, but must first be given the resources to overcome the disabilities that block their access to that potential. The most common learning hurdle that I have seen with my students involves the many facets that contribute to reading well. While I have a well decorated room that includes a reading rug that I purchased, I don't have any books at all. Resource room teachers are not given any books, leaving me with buying all materials needed for my students to succeed.

The requested table will provide us with a place to go to when we are working in small groups. Students with special needs need constant redirection and a table like this will allow for independence as well as support when needed. This table will also works as a guided reading area when working with students on specific reading skills.
As you may or may not know guided reading is essential to reach students at their specific reading levels and provide them with supportive reading skills.
This table allow for students to get direct support in the classroom by their teacher and be able to learn from their peers.
More than half of students from low‑income households
