Mrs. Jensen from Walcott IA is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Help me give my students a love for reading some of the classics like Boxcar Children, Junie B. Jones, and some graphic novels with storage baskets too.

My Students

Our classroom is full of culturally diverse learners. With 18 languages spoken in our school and 24 countries represented, we work with over 140 English Language Learners. There are five ELL teachers in a shared classroom to support each of these learners' needs.

We work with refugees, immigrants, and citizens whose first language is something other than English.

Most of these students come from low SES homes, who are looking for a better life. Each of these students deserve a comforting classroom suited for 21st century learning.

My Project

I hope to grow our classroom library with some different chapter book sets like Junie B. Jones, Boxcar Children, Dog Man, Smile, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. As well as some baskets for storage and easy access. This project will bring a wide range of books into the classroom.

Having books in the classroom grows a love for reading.

With these books in our classroom, our students will go on endless adventures. I try to have a wide variety of books for students to enjoy. Graphic novels make reading chapter books accessible to all students, no matter their reading level.
