Books for Bilingual Little Learners

Help me give my students bilingual books to help them learn how to read.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vaughn's classroom raised $430

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are in critical need of bilingual reading books. Presently, we are school that was suddenly intergrated with students who only speak their native language which is Spanish. About over 50% of my students does not understand English and it makes it extremly hard for them to learn. So, I decided as a teacher who goal is to provide quality education to all students that I will ask for support in providing these students books. If our class had bilingual books, my students will be more engaged in actually learning English as well.
