My students need books books to take home so that can access to many stories!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Obando's classroom raised $494
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
We are a Title I school, with 90% of our students on free or reduced-price meal plans. We have many English Language Learner (ELL) students at our school. Over half of my students are ELL students. Our students come from working families and families who speak other languages at home. Some parents are not able to communicate in English with us, but we do have Spanish-speaking translators on site.
Our staff is very caring and committed to providing a nurturing, fun, and engaging classroom for all our students.
We want students to know that we will be there for them and give them as much as we possibly can. One great thing about our school is that we have one-to-one devices, iPads or Chromebook computers. For many students, this is the first time they have been able to use and engage with today's technology.
My Project
I would like to have a large selection of books from all different reading levels so that my students can make reading at home engaging. These books I selected include fiction and some non-fiction titles of all levels. Having both genres is important for student interest. My students are readers of all levels and having books from early reader to advanced for our grade level will greatly benefit them.
Many of my students do not have access to books so sending home books will improve their reading skills.
As students read these books, they will continue to grow as readers which will help them throughout the school year. Ideally, they will maintain or even increase their reading ability by having these high-interest books readily available. I know the importance a book can make but just imagine what many books can do for these students!
Nearly all 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
