My Students
All students are diverse and energetic 5 and 6 year olds in a southern Arizona Title I STEAM (science, technology, engineering and math) school.
And 99% of our students qualify to receive free lunch.
Most are English Language Learners, including refugees from Africa, Asia, Mexico and the Middle East. All coming from low-income households. School is often the first place my students are exposed to literacy, math and STEAM activities in English. They come from homes where education is often not a priority, making the initial readiness gap wider. They strive to do their best against the odds and are always excited to come to school and learn.
My Project
I am continuing to build a classroom library for my students. I would like to provide engaging, non-fiction and fiction readers focused on sight words and word families.
With access to these new books, my students will have the ability to choose from a variety of print materials that will allow them to read independently, increase their confidence and build their vocabulary knowledge.
My goal is to foster a love for reading. I want to encourage my students to take these new words and stories, and turn them into a written story in their journals. These books will give my students' confidence in reading by recognizing common sight words and word families.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
