My Students
"I am part of everything that I have read" -Teddy Roosevelt
My students are English as a Second Language learners who do not hear the English language beyond our school.
Their parents do not have the language skills to ask them questions about their learning or reinforce lessons learned in school. This upcoming year, I am teaching Special Education in addition to my English as a Second Language population. In order to truly differentiate my teaching and address all the needs of my students, I want to reach the wide range of interests.
My students are eager and curious children who enjoy learning. I teach at a Title 1 school, meaning that nearly all of my students live below the nation-wide poverty line. Beyond the classroom, my students rarely interact with English texts. These new resources would excite the students' naturally inquisitive minds and motivate them to explore topics beyond my explicit teachings.
My Project
I would like to add these requested texts to our classroom library in order to encourage students to explore different genres of fictional literature. These resources would be used in a small group setting by having students grouped by reading level and guide students through the different genres. It is my hope to rotate these sets of books and have students become more interested in a genre they have yet to explore.
It is my wish that these donations will make an impact on how students view our classroom library.
It is common for students to gravitate towards texts that students are more comfortable with, such as fantasy. In order to push students towards becoming better readers, it's necessary to expand their knowledge.
More than half of students from low‑income households
