Igniting a Love for Reading!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Baker's classroom raised $1,049
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 Project
Dear Supporters,
I’ve just transitioned into my first teaching role in Texas, and I've encountered a unique challenge – teachers here are responsible for building their own classroom libraries. Having previously taught in New York, where schools provided ample books, I now find myself in a community where this responsibility falls on the teacher.
With these books, I will have the resources that I need to teach them to be excellent readers! Your contribution will also support them in developing a LOVE for reading!
My students deserve the best - they work incredibly hard, demonstrating resilience and dedication to learning. I'm asking for some help in giving them the best!
Please join me in creating a foundation for their educational journey by contributing to our classroom library.
Thank you so much for your help!
Sincerely,
Ms. Baker
