My Students
My 5th-grade students attend a public school in New York and are in an ICT classroom. All of my students are eager to learn! Our community of learners is a melting pot of diversity. There are differences in their interests, backgrounds, and abilities, yet, they all come together through their love of reading. Some of my students have special needs and need a lot of support to achieve their learning goals. They are eager to learn and are all capable of learning. I hope to motivate my students to be excited about learning and surround them with a supportive, engaging, and safe learning environment.
Our vision is to create a classroom that ensures high quality and equitable instruction for every student.
My Project
Our classroom library needs culturally relevant texts that my diverse students can relate to. Often my children can not see themselves in the books they are reading. It is imperative for all of the students in my class to see themselves reflected in the books in our classroom library. The books that you will donate will provide opportunities to read "window" and "mirror" books--specifically, books in which they can learn about others as well as books in which they see themselves. Currently, our classroom library is in need of an infusion of books with diverse protagonists and culturally relevant themes.
