Help me give my students high interest books that represent their world and experiences.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Henry's classroom raised $664
This project is fully funded
My Students
My first-grade classroom is filled with fun first graders! They have so much fun learning as readers, writers, and explorers. Each day, my students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. They are excited to learn new things that will help prepare them for the world.
In addition, learning and growing in a diverse classroom community offers a unique experience for them to build confidence and appreciation for one another.
My Project
This project includes historical books, Spanish books, cultural books, classic books, and biographies. I will use these books for to teach and engage children in learning about the amazing things, people, ideas, and stories in this world.
Children will have the opportunity to develop their language and literacy skills through learning about different cultures and experiences.
These stories will spark their curiosity and their desire to keep learning!
One book - one story can make a big difference, and inspire children to read and write their own story one day!
Half of 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
