My students need a book binding machine and paper to make books to read at home.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Newman's classroom raised $503
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
We are a Title I school in Southern California. Most of my students come from low-income families and many do not stay at the same school for more than a year. These students are shuffled from one school to the next due to overflow and busing restrictions. This contributes to an unbalanced education. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about those circumstances.
However, I can give these young learners a thirst for knowledge and the ability to use logic and communication to find information for themselves.
Because I teach a new program, called Transitional Kindergarten, I have the unique opportunity to provide these students with an additional year of school experience where I can use music, art, and manipulatives to teach them academics, social skills, and good school habits. There are no resources for this particular program beyond number and letter writing and recognition. I am responsible for providing them with the materials and lessons that are essential to a productive and positive school experience.
My Project
My students love to make books! We would love to have a book binding machine to make our books last longer! Staples just don't last long enough...
Students are most invested in reading their own writing.
With a binding machine and heavier paper, my students will be able to read and re-read their prose day after day!
Students are happiest when creating using stickers and markers, and I am happy to make these items accessible with easy to close containers. Scrapbook paper gives students the ability to create covers that really express themselves. The heavy colored paper will endure the constant page turning and the bins will protect the supplies in between creations!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
