My Students

My students come to school every day excited to learn. They are smart, curious, creative, and hardworking. They love to read, love to explore, and love to learn new things.

We are a high performing, Title I Elementary School in Nevada, and many of my students do not have access to educational materials or preschool prior to beginning kindergarten.

Our goal is to have students reading, writing, adding, and subtracting by the time they leave kindergarten. As their teacher, my goal is to provide my students with the love, support, knowledge, and resources they need to be successful.

My Project

My students need a classroom library with a variety of AR books at their reading level. These books are leveled for beginning readers, and all have a corresponding online AR quiz. The quizzes help them with their comprehension skills and building their vocabulary.

My Kindergartners are just beginning to read, and having books at their level helps to build their confidence and love of reading!

Seeing a child read for the first time is exciting. My students feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.

These books will provide my students with a variety of subjects to read about at their reading level. I have requested several copies of some books to be able to introduce them during group reading and to have multiple copies available for up to five students to read at once.
