Little Readers Need Books!

My students need 5 complete sets of leveled reading books for the leveled library.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hernandez's classroom raised $461

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

My second graders need leveled reading books that they will be able to read at their own guided reading level. The students put the books in their own special bags on the back of their chair and they love reading them! I need more books to keep my students interested.

The requested books will be for my second graders that attend a high poverty school in Chicago, IL.

My students are in a bilingual class and are just beginning to read fluently in English. My students need new books to keep them excited and interested in reading.

My Project

These books will truly make a difference in my students' lives. The books that I have for them right now are old and many of the students have already read most of them. I need new books to inspire my students and really keep them interested and excited to learn!

This donation will make such a huge difference in my students' lives.

These books will inspire my students and they will be so excited to read. The idea of having new, brightly colored books will definitely be wonderful for my students. Please help my students to get these wonderful resources!
