Help me give my students a place where we can come together to share a love of reading or to help us focus on other tasks!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Brooks's classroom raised $514
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
On any given day, my students come to school with positive attitudes and ready to learn! The surprise on their faces when they learn that a tiger’s skin is also striped, or excitement because they mastered telling time on a digital/analog clock reinforce that I chose the right career path.
I teach at a Title I school, meaning most of my students come from high poverty backgrounds.
All students receive free breakfast and lunch, and if they attend the extended day program they will receive free dinner as well. I have also had the opportunity to teach students in this program, that may or may not be on my current roster, using my classroom past the normal school day.
My Project
This specific rug would replace the current, much-loved one in my room that was saved from being tossed out my first year of teaching. It would provide a gathering spot where students have their own “spot” during read-a-louds and are still able to see the book as well as extra space when working on math skills in small groups. The bright colors (that match other supplies in the room) give students a welcome feeling in the classroom and the alphabet edge could provide an added visual cue for students when distinguishing between capital and lower case letters in their writing.
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
