The students in my classroom absolutely love learning; however, it is clearly evident that the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We often try to use several different learning strategies, small group work, and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!
My Project
You are amazing for taking some time out to read this! Our class is an ICT 1st grade and right now we are at various reading levels. With your donation you will provide these children the tools to perfect reading skills they are working on almost every day!! We just learned that readers read more and more to get better at their reading, but how can we read more and more without any books!! These leveled readers will give these students the opportunity to read and practice both in the classroom and home in their book baggies!!! Let's get some more books to fill up a library, and level us up!!!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
