Help me give my students engaging books that encourage the development of their critical thinking skills.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cruz's classroom raised $250
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
By providing my students with exceptional literary masterpiece, I aim to foster a learning environment that nurtures creativity, sharpens observation skills, and promotes critical thinking.
A class set of "Animalia: The Eleventh Hour" will not only captivate their imagination but also serve as a catalyst for collaborative learning experiences, encouraging discussions and the exchange of ideas among our students.
Your support in acquiring this book will significantly contribute to our efforts in providing a holistic and enriching educational experience. This innovative approach encourages active participation, challenging our students to employ their analytical and cognitive abilities as they piece together the clues included throughout the book.
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
