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
I work with 18 wonderful and inquisitive pre-kindergarten students in a very diverse school in Brooklyn, New York. We have children from many different cultures in our class and children with many special abilities.
Our Pre-K students love to learn new things daily!
For many of these children, it is their first year in school. They are learning about themselves, others, school rules, routines, and many new concepts in various subjects! They have many opportunities to explore what kind of learners they are and learn concepts in many different ways!
My Project
Most of my students are ready to read! They have worked hard learning the letters and letter sounds and they are ready to learn sight words. Learning sight words is an essential first step in learning how to read!
Our class would love to have sight word books to learn how to read!
My students need a variety of books with simple, predictable texts, sight words, and pictures to use picture clues to gain good reading habits! These simple books will allow them to read sight words daily in fun and engaging stories. It is important they have a variety of levels and genres which is why we are asking for Level 1 and 2, fiction and non-fiction sight word readers.
We would be so grateful for any donation you can give towards our class learning sight words through fun, interesting, and educational books!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
