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 Students
I teach reading to many different classes of brilliant girls in New York City. Many of my students are English Language Learners and children with special needs. Most qualify for free and reduced-price lunch.
All of my students are creative, thoughtful, and eager learners, and much of their knowledge this year has been expressed through their literacy and play.
It has been so exciting to see them fully engaged each day as they learn through collaboration and play with their peers.
I teach 27 bright and beautiful second graders in a high-need area of New York City.
My students and I have been working intensively to get to grade level proficiency in reading. We set realistic reading goals and are working to make at least one year's growth. They have a goal-setting mindset.
My Project
Hi there! Do you want to help to instill a lifelong love of reading and a passion for books in children? Well, it's one of the reasons that I went into teaching!
And now thirteen years later, I am amazed at how excited my students are when we learn about new authors or when I have new books to add to our library.
You could be a part of that excitement! With your generous donation, my students will enjoy leveled readers that not only will engage them but will also be at their appropriate reading level, which is crucial for reading success.
My students need multiple copies of their favorite books that I can give to them as gifts. My students this year have fallen in love with Elephant and Piggie and a math book called, 1 is for 1. Unfortunately, my classroom library does not meet the needs of my very excited bookworms. I can often be found at the public library three or four nights a week, checking out extra books for my students. A leveled library is especially important in second grade because this is the age when children learn to read and it is necessary to have multiple copies of the same title. With these donations, my students will be ensured best practices for reading instruction and will be well on their way to reading success! I would like for us to have multiple copies of their favorites so they do not have to wait to borrow them!
This collection of books will become a treasured part of our classroom library. Thank you so much for your support! It is greatly appreciated!
