Ms. Bohman from Bridgeport CT is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Building Strong Readers!

My students need leveled readers to help them become stronger readers! Our classroom library is severely lacking and I would love to add some variety for my students to enjoy.

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

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students face challenges both in and out of the classroom that often times seem never-ending. Despite their ongoing struggles, they come to school eager to learn and ready to face any new obstacles in school. I strive, as their teacher, to provide ample opportunities to succeed and get the education they deserve. Learning should be enjoyable and full of memorable experiences; I aim to provide that for my students, regardless of the myriad challenges we face.

My Project

I have requested leveled readers ranging from level D-I. These are some of the levels that I am lacking. My students read every day, and our library is a mess! The bins that I am requesting are already filled with books at that level and are labeled. This will help my students to be able to independently pick best-fit books!

I want to make sure my students have exactly what they need, and have access to just that!

My students read each day during literacy centers. This past year I noticed many children were a bit lost when it came to selecting books, and having books that were just right for them. With these leveled readers, I am confident my students will be selecting and reading just right books all year long!
