My Project
All of my students are creative, thoughtful, and eager learners, and much of their knowledge this year has been expressed through their literacy and play.
It has been so exciting to see them fully engaged each day as they learn through collaboration and play with their peers.
I teach 27 bright and beautiful second graders in a high-needs area of New York. My students and I have been working intensively to get to grade level proficiency in reading. We set realistic reading goals and are working to make at least one year's growth. They have a goal-setting mindset.
Unfortunately, my students do not always have a quiet, comfortable spot to read at home. I would love to create a reading nook in my classroom so that they will be more motivated to read. The floor chairs will help to make class reading more fun and make students look forward to opening a book in such a neat environment.
You could be a part of that excitement!
With your generous donation, my students will enjoy reading in a comfy, cozy reading nook in our classroom. Your donation will help to foster a love of learning and reading. With your help, I can provide my students with the opportunity to curl up with a good book and read their hearts out!
More than half 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
