Help me give my students a library that serves as windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nguyen's classroom raised $488
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 Project
I am a first year teacher so I am still starting out my classroom library. I want to make sure I provide students with an adequate library full of books that both reflect their identities and can serve as windows into other cultures and ethnicities.
I will use these books to help support my students in developing their reading comprehension.
We have silent reading time weekly where students get to read a book they enjoy. I also have English Language Learners in my class and having more picture books and shorter books will help them develop their English skills.
Nearly all 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
