Bilingual Students in Need of Books

My students need an array of books that are at their reading levels. My cart consists mostly of graphic novels that my students love.

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

I will be teaching third grade reading and writing at a Title I campus in Texas in the upcoming school year. Of our campus population, 95% of our students receive free and reduced-rate lunch. Some of my students come from homes that are almost in unlivable conditions.

My class will consist of 40 very diverse bilingual students who mostly come from low-income homes.

All of the students at our campus are eager to learn and truly have a love of learning. All of the students in my class are English language learners (ELLs) at various levels.

My Project

I am wanting to build our classroom library with books that my students can take home in their book bags to read. My goal is to have enough books so that each student will be able to take at least 3 books home each day. The books in my cart are mostly graphic novels that are part of a series that my students enjoy. As James Patterson once said, "There's no such thing as a kid who hates reading, there are kids who love reading, and kids who are reading the wrong books."

Most of my students do not have access to books outside of school.

Earlier in the school year, my students were impacted by Hurricane Harvey. They were forced to miss school for two weeks. Please help me on my journey to build lifelong readers by providing my students the right books.
