FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Arroyo's classroom raised $429

My Students

I work with wonderful students from kindergarten to fifth grade in a Title I school. Coming to the library is an experience that students love, and creating lifelong learners and readers is a goal for our school community. The library is a perfect place for students to read, grow, reflect, and imagine! Reading takes us places and students love engaging books and opportunities to grow their brains!

I work in a Title I school where I teach amazing kindergarten to fifth-grade readers and thinkers!

Students often come to school without a backpack or a uniform and I know that home life isn't always the best for my students. I want to give them as many experiences as I can that they may not get otherwise. I also want to provide them with the resources and books that they might not be able to get outside of school.

My Project

Saying that students love non-fiction can be hard to do ... unless it is about a topic students love! I am working towards organizing and adding to my non-fiction section in my school's library to fill it with topics that students enjoy and want to learn more about.

I would love to add new how to draw books, which is something that students love, to my library's shelves!

These books would fly off the shelves from the minute they arrived! I am so excited to see students excited about reading and checking out books that they truly have a passion for! Including art and reading is so much fun and I love seeing students pursue passions that they have!
