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.
Sometimes I feel like Old Mother Hubbard with all the children and she doesn't know what to do! I service 14, below grade level kindergarten through third grade students, all at one time for each hour of the day. Each child is at a different reading ability level. I want to read one on one with each child every day to monitor his/her growth or needs.
I have a limited amount of space in the classroom, which used to be the custodian's closet. I purchased books and supplies for our room's library at garage sales over the summer because the district has a limited budget. These reading Centers can be taken to their desks and are student friendly creating high interest and motivation.
These reading Centers will allow me to create and enhance an individualized lesson for each student. They can have fun while learning, be independent, and watch their confidence soar.
My students need multiple Reading Centers to enrich their reading ability, allowing them to be able to work independently on components of reading, allowing me to work one on one with student at their level.
Your generosity for my students this year will be "Paid Forward" for many years by the continuing flow of children that sit down by my side and say, "WOW, this is fun! Look what I can do!"
Nearly all students from low‑income households
