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 start their day with the cheer Reading Reading Everyday, Reading is the First Grade Way. And boy have they begun to read. Since the beginning of first grade 80% of my students have increase their reading skills by at least one grade level. They want to read all day long.
My school is dependent of Title I funds to help with the materials and programs to support our students.
Most families qualify for the free or reduce lunch program. Our school faculty and administration has been committed to getting books into the students hands. Having more choices for them to read gives them more opportunities to practice their skills and learn about the world around them.
My Project
My students would love to see a set of these books in our classroom.Some of the titles are Junie B's Books in a Bus, Fish Face, and Spectacular Stone Soup. We have been borrowing from other classrooms. So it would be great that they would have to only walk to their classroom library to get another chapter book. They are learning how to read higher level books that requires word attack and comprehension skills. These books will benefit students not only assigned to me this year but for many years to come.
We are a book crazy classroom.
We are driving the school crazy looking to borrow anything we can get our hands on to read. Please help increase our classroom library with the books we love to read!! Your donation will be a great gift that will keep on giving for many years to come.
Thank you for your consideration!!
