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
My wonderful third graders are new to the English language. They are so hopeful for this school year and are excited to learn how to speak and read English. Unfortunately, though, there were not enough books in my classroom library for all of my students to have their "Just Right Books".
My students are reading below grade level because of their limited English language proficiency.
Please help them learn to read by gifting them a variety of books for them to help them learn to read at the appropriate pace for them as they are also learning the English language. They need books at a Kindergarten and First grade level so that they can successfully learn how to read just like we all did when we were just starting school.
Nearly all 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
