Ms. Boggs from OH is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Family Engagement Library

My students need books to help them develop a love for reading. These books will get sent home with students weekly, so that their families can engage with them also!

My Students

I am a Head Start preschool teacher from Cincinnati, Ohio. I have 17 little pieces of the puzzle that make up my classroom. And though they are all unique and different individuals, they share one thing in common: poverty. My students receive less opportunities, less support, and less resources than a typical child. All due to their socioeconomic status. I want to give them more. Our society has come to an agreement that we have major issues to fix in our country, but is having a hard time deciding on how to do so. I think the best, and most critical, place to start, is with our children. I want to do everything I can to ensure that my students have their best chance.

My Project

These books will be used for our Family Engagement Library. My students do not have access to books, so I like to send books home on a weekly basis for them to share with their families at home! However, my current collection is small, and most of the books are outdated and not in the best shape. It is difficult to find books that the children haven’t read already, and that pique their individual interests. This donation will help them complete their reading homework, instill a love of reading, and encourage families to spend time together! We would love to have some new books in our library!
