We are a Title I, brand new French dual language elementary school, the first of its kind in Texas! Our students speak English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Arabic, Portuguese, and several African national languages.
As a brand new school, we still are lacking in several essential items.
We have a challenge this year providing for all of the students' needs as we are slowly acquiring resources that take years to establish.
Also, third grade is the first year for our students to take the state-required test. It will be difficult, and fortunately, these kids are taking it very seriously!
My Project
My third graders are having a wonderful time reading chapter books on a Kindle I got from a previous DonorsChoose.org grant. I would like to order one specifically to use for front of class read-loud time.
Putting a Kindle Fire on my document camera and selecting a student to turn the pages so we can all read the words together is a real treat for my students.
Every day we read from a chapter book from my own personal Kindle library. This is often the first chapter book that many of my students have ever read. Chapter books are vital for increasing their reading stamina and preparing them for their state assessment in the spring.
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
