My Students
I work in a second-year school where more than three quarters of our school comes from low-income households. Our school is still growing and changing, and classrooms lack Smartboards and technology. We are an ICT classroom where 40% of our students receive IEPs with special accommodations.
Many of our students are striving readers who are below grade level and working hard to foster a love of learning.
We are working hard to foster this love by giving students multiple opportunities to learn and get excited to read.
My Project
Our students are working on becoming great authors, and we need a book binding machine to get started!
As we work to make class books, creative projects, and individual student books, our students would benefit from books that look and feel "real."
A book binding machine will help us create longer lasting books, class sets of books, class projects, and whole-class books. We can make calendars to send home for parent gifts. We can also work on creating books for the whole class. Each student will contribute one page and we will keep them as a class-made book to read and read again.
More than half of 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
