Mrs. Lawton from Providence RI is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Books Can Take You Places!

Help me give my students books to that are on their independent reading level. It is very important that my students have books on their level to improve their reading skills.

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

My students come from a poor urban school where resources are short and need is great. We are a happy bunch of second graders who greatly want to learn and have a classroom which is organized to maximize education. We have a mixture of regular education and special needs students. The classroom is definitely diverse.

Our class and school come from low income Hispanic and Black families who are dedicated to their child's education.

If they surely had the money, the parents would donate these items themselves but they are busy providing for their families. We have to rely on the kindness of donors to fund our projects.

My Project

Guided reading is the key to successful readers! In order to support our struggling readers we must provide literature that is both supportive of their needs and interesting. These requested books will be used daily to empower our striving readers during guided reading. Students are likely to engage with books that provide the necessary picture support that will allow them to feel successful.

Students that perceive themselves as readers have already won half the battle.

With these new books, they will feel confident in their ability to read.

Please help me so that I can open their eyes to the wonderful world of reading.
