This teacher needs your help!

Ms. McAvoy from New York, NY is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

English Books for English Learners!

My bilingual students desperately need 5 copies each of 4 titles from the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series".

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McAvoy's classroom raised $294

This project is fully funded

"I just don't like to read! Get it?" It's daily reading time in my class. Even when my students don't verbalize the statement above, their apathy is evident. I have come to realize that there is a trend to students who refuse to read. Most of them are English Language Learners and struggle to speak, much less read, in English. As an 11th and 12th grade teacher, my classroom library is all too small, and all too biased. There is no school library. My bilingual students have very few books they can relate to. Meanwhile, precious instructional and learning time passes. They only have months before the English Regents and SATs. They are years behind their suburban peers in reading levels and have to prepare to read college books and become lifelong readers. They also only have MONTHS left to prepare for college! Please don't let them fall through the cracks!! You can help. All my students need is literature that appeals to THEM. We need books that are interesting, on their reading level, and funny! and books that will help my students navigate their all-too-demanding adolescent years. Please provide us with 20 books from the Wimpy Kid series. Students in the past have really enjoyed this book. They can relate to the Wimpy Kid in each of us. This donation is not just about books. These books offer a chance for students to connect with a world outside their own, and more importantly - the chance that they realize teenagers all over feel just as they do. My "Free-Write Fridays" reveals every week another student who just wants to know he is normal. Just like all of us, they just want to be heard. Please, please, please give my students a chance at educational and lifelong success. Don't give up on this chance to open up the world of literature and a new world of opportunities!
