My students need mentor texts to enrich their reading and writing skills.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rico's classroom raised $426
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
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” ― Dr. Seuss, "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!" Please help me bring rich, mentor texts to my students. Let's take them to new places!!
I am extremely honored to be the teacher of a group of second graders who are full of curiosity, energy, and have a great desire to learn and have new experiences.
Our school is located in a high-crime and poor in resources neighborhood in South Los Angeles where places with opportunities for learning are scarce or simply not available.
Our school is also a Title 1 school, which means most of our students qualify for free lunch.
My Project
With the recent implementation of the Common Core standards, the demands for rich literature to support different reading and writing genres is simply necessary. A library rich in literature will contribute to the academic success to each and every one of my students. They will be able to read interesting and relevant books that support common core reading and writing standards. I will also be able to immerse them in books that will prepare them for many learning experiences.
Your donation of these wonderful books will greatly impact the present and future success of my students not only in reading, but in writing, too.
My students will be exposed to literature that matters. Where? In their own classroom!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
