My students are a group of eager 3rd students. There are a variety of personalities and differing intelligences in this group. They are visually artistic, creative, innovative, exploratory, and adventurous. I am working on taking all of their qualities to develop lifelong readers and writers.
Our students live in an urban community.
So most of them have experienced tragic incidents non- existent to students their age from other regions. Our classes serve students with a range of disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, emotional disturbance, autism spectrum disorder and specific learning disabilities. The typical student in my class reads at below or far- below grade level and many struggle with basic phonics and reading comprehension. 100% of these students are African American or Latino. The opportunity and achievement gaps are apparent among our student population. Although faced with many adversities, these students come daily eager to learn something new.
My Project
My students need books and supplements that promote literacy-based instruction. I am requesting the selected items to promote a literacy- based classroom. This will also promote a love for reading, where reading comes naturally. My goal is to get students excited about reading. The donations to this project will help to improve my students' understanding of complex texts in authentic, meaningful reading and writing.
These tools are essential for students to become successful readers.By reading and listening to these stories, students will be exposed to lots of new words and experiences that they haven't heard before and may never experience.
It might also encourage them to explore other areas of the world.
More than three‑quarters 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
