My Project
Aloha, I teach 21, 3rd graders who love to learn and create. I work at a Title I school where many students come from low-income households.
Our students love to read, unfortunately, our classroom library is in a sad state, but with your help, we can add interesting books with incredible illustrations that spark the joy of reading.
These books have been carefully chosen with my students interests in mind. I asked my students what they want to read and have taken class votes on which books they would like to have in their class library to read independently.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
