Help me give my students science and STEM books to help them learn about their world.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nichols's classroom raised $589
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
I am lucky to be surrounded by 29 energetic, lovable and loving seven year old students every day. As they shake my hand while entering the room each morning, they are filled with questions about what we will be doing during the day and news about what they have been doing since I've seen them last (at 3 o'clock the previous afternoon). The students all live in the urban neighborhood where the school is located. They come from diverse backgrounds speaking English, Spanish, and Creole. About 75% of my class speaks two languages. All my students are eligible for free lunch.
My Project
What kind of trees are in the rain forest? How hot is it in space? Why do I need bones? My second graders are full of questions! I want them to know they can be in charge of their own learning. The answers to all their questions can be found in books, and they can become experts by reading.
With STEM and science books written at their reading level, my students can drive their own learning and become experts in topics they are passionate about.
Please help me give my students the materials they need to set them on the path of becoming independent learners driven to study their world.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
