Hello! I am thrilled to have the amazing opportunity to teach another wonderful group of 5th-grade students this year. This is my first year teaching a group of dual language immersion students and, while it has definitely been a learning opportunity for me, I have loved being their teacher. My students are motivated, creative, and fun-loving individuals who enjoy learning and trying new things.
Each of my students have very unique learning styles and needs.
Their individual needs are a major focus of mine as I plan instruction, determine which strategies to use, organize the classroom, and even as I build our classroom library. Now that I have double the students that I’ve had in previous years, I would love to build my classroom library so that they have a variety of books, both by genre and level, to choose from. I am hoping that this DonorsChoose fundraiser will help me continue to build my classroom library so that every student can find success with reading.
My Project
It has always been a priority of mine to have good books in my classroom for my students to read. Students’ learning opportunities have undeniably been impacted by the Covid pandemic, for a variety of reasons, and encouraging students to read has become even more important than before.
With twice as many students as I’ve had in previous years, I have noticed my bookshelves looking a little bare (yay, they’re reading!).
I would love to add a variety of high interest books to our library so that my students still have many options to choose from, and I can continue to let students borrow books to read at home.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
