High-Quality Classroom Library
Hooray! This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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 Students
My class is filled with diverse, bright, and happy students who come to school every day ready to learn and have fun. My students and I learn and grow at a tiny school on the windward side of Oahu and due to our small classes, we truly are like one big ohana.
My class is the embodiment of "tiny but mighty." Despite the many obstacles my students face every day, they are a strong and joyful bunch who just want to learn about the world.
My Project
My students love to read. They love getting lost in beautiful stories that take them all over both the physical and fantastical world. Fortunately, the teachers across our entire campus strongly encourage and allow student choice across our reading classes. In fact, choice is embedded within our curriculum. This increases the love my students have for reading.
Unfortunately, our classroom library is currently lacking in books; this makes it difficult for me to further cultivate this love my students have for literature. With your help, I can continue to push my students as readers by providing enriching, high-interest, and appropriately leveled books.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
