Help me give my students some books to read that represent the diversity of the students.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brosnan's classroom raised $379
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 are enthusiastic readers. They make choices about the type of books they read. Some of my students reside in temporary housing and others live within the Long Island City community, but all love to read.
The students enjoy reading books that represent the diversity of New York City.
The students get excited about seeing themselves and their cultural backgrounds represented in the books they read.
Many of my students are from immigrant families. They attend a Title I school and some are lacking books at home.
My Project
My students enjoy reading so much! Just imagine how excited they will be when they have opportunities to read about characters from their cultural backgrounds. Last Stop on Market Street shows the strong relationship among family members. Many of my students will be moved by reading about a boy and his grandma as they go about helping others.
These books will inspire the students to be proud of their cultural backgrounds and also learn about other cultures.
Students love reading and by bringing more books to them they will improve their reading skills. All these books show strong characters and positive role models.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
