Great Books, Great Connections!

My students need fiction and non-fiction books in order to work on and make connections with our units of inquiry.

My Students

My students are powerful beings, enthusiastic and restless, full lof energy and curiosity. They amaze me every day with their ability to learn and dream of an adventurous future. Most of them have been attending the Spanish immersion program since Kindergarten. Thanks to that and being an IB school, they are able to open their minds and be citizens of the world. They know that learning a second language will not only help to develop a better understanding in every sense, but will create an opportunity to have the tools to travel and know our world.

No adversity in life can stop them now!

We are in a low-income neighborhood and most of the families in our school are in very complicated situations but always willing to succeed. We also are a IB community and a magnet school, everyone is welcome!

My Project

We will use our Space non-fiction books to inquiry for our Unit so children can make connections and reflect about their learning. We are also in need of the Math book that will help us with the critical thinking skills and fiction books from the same author to compare and contrast.

These 25 children will be very benefited with these books and the future third grades to come.

So, if you help us today, you are also helping more children in the future and for their future!
