My students need novels for their independent reading time (also known as Joy Reading Book Time) and sticky notes for their annotations in the class anchor text. We also need pencils, dry erase markers, highlighters, dictionaries, and paper.

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.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Many of my students are coming from low-income community in Texas. Most of my students are immigrants or are raised in homes with parents who are immigrants.
The majority of my students are English Language Learners and despite what circumstances they may face, they come in ready to learn each and every day.
Although they try their hardest, many students have difficulty comprehending material, especially in English Language Arts. Their dedication and eagerness to learn is so admirable and I can't wait to see their growth this semester!
My Project
All of the materials I am requesting are already those have been used in the classroom. However, we are running out of my personal materials and I want nothing more than for my students to have access to all of the tools that will set them up for success. Students will be using sticky notes for their daily annotations in their class texts because they are borrowing these books from the library. Sticky notes are also a great way for students to engage in a quick entrance or exit ticket on a daily basis. Students who have their own copies of the class text will be able to use the highlighters and pens requested to actually write in their novels. The expo markers requested will be used when I am presenting a teacher model on the correct way to annotate on the classroom whiteboard via powerpoint.
The novels requested will be used for independent reading time in class, which is also known as JRB (Joy Reading Book) Time.
This is a time where students take 15 minutes at the beginning of class to read a novel of their choice to ensure that they are actively reading on a daily basis. This also increases student engagement and gets them excited to read! The library in our school is limited and what I have in the classroom are novels many students have read before, so giving them more variety and options will hopefully encourage students to get even more excited to read their books when they get to class.
These materials will really help set students up for success and get them excited about reading!
