My Students
Dr. Seuss wrote,"The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." How true that is! My students are just beginning that incredible journey into reading.
I teach a large group of very excited 5 year olds who love to come to school and learn new things.
They love to learn about and experience new things. They come from a low-income, rural area of South Carolina, but are very eager to learn new things. They attend a large elementary school which houses pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.
My Project
Reading is a fundamental skill that is necessary for all subjects. As a kindergarten teacher my responsibility for laying that foundation for good reading skills is paramount. These books would not only help my kids learn to be better readers, but I think it would also help instill in them a passion for reading. They will begin to understand that reading can be fun as well!
By donating to this project, you will help my students become better readers and prepare them to be better students and learners throughout their lives.
They will have the opportunity to do better in school because they will have achieved success with reading early in their school careers.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
