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 first grade students at Yonkers School 32 need your help! We are uncomfortable, we're hot and we are having trouble relaxing during D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) time. With your help, we can be comfy, cool, and relax with a good book. Many of my students are from low income families and are at risk for reaching grade level standards. I propose a classroom library will help my students want to read more often.
Our classroom needs a cozy library. If we had some comfortable soft library furniture, 2 fans and a book shelf, our GREAT ADVENTURE can begin! How exciting it would be to have a proper classroom library where my students can truly be comfortable to go on an adventure.
My entire class, many with learning and emotional disabilities, will benefit from a cozy classroom library. This library will be a fantastic way to continually encourage peer and independent reading. To practice skills learned and experience adventures together is what I hope to achieve. With the extra motivation of having a fun reading corner my students will read more often. Therefore, their skills will improve. The adventures we will take can open up our class discussions, build friendships and increase reader fluency. All of these lessons will have a positive impact on my students. I sincerely hope you would consider my proposal.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
