My Students

Our teachers across the grade levels are working hard to provide enough centers and interventions to engage the students throughout the day. I felt that I could find a way to help in the community struggle with reading.

I teach art to grades K-5 in an inner city school.

Our students come from low-income families and these days our school is struggling to make the grade! Our students have very rigorous classroom schedules. The art room is often the place where we are able to relax and have some fun. It is the place where we ALL succeed.

My Project

Because students require different amounts of time to finish projects in my class, I try to keep some activities available for free time. I have gathered a few art story books that have been passed on to me, but the students often ask to look at my personal books which are often over their reading level. I would like to provide some age appropriate, reading-level appropriate books that will provide extra reading practice while fulfilling my own curriculum.

With your dedication to helping schools in need, these incredible resources will bring the world of extra reading into my art room.

The art story books will not only provide information about artists and art history, but provide that extra practice and nudge to encourage life long readers.
