FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruiz's classroom raised $163
This project is fully funded
My Students
The students in my class face several challenges both in and out of the classroom as our school is located in a high poverty neighborhood. Despite any challenges they may face, my hope is that in our school, we provide high quality and meaningful learning experiences.
The goal is for students to be excited to come to school everyday and to be consistently and actively engaged.
Creating a classroom that is welcoming and comfortable for students is a major priority.
My Project
I have been able to create an amazing classroom library this year. Donors have generously given a book bin, chapter books and posters for our classroom library.
Students are definitely more likely to read if they can find books that interest them.
. This project will provide students with books about sports and Olympic heroes. They have voiced an interest in all of the figures in the books. As a child, I remember struggling to find books that caught my interest. My goal is to provide my students with opportunities to read that will hopefully help them gain a lifelong passion for reading.
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
