Poetry to Inspire Young Minds

Help me give my students poetry that speaks to their feelings and their lives!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Williams's classroom raised $342

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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.

My Project

Lately, I have noticed that students are checking out books of poetry more than any other books in my classroom. They are connecting with poetry in a deep and meaningful way.

These poetry books will help students to process their personal journeys of love, loss, and self-discovery.

Reading these books can help them handle all of the many things going on in each of their lives. Poetry can speak to someone's soul in a unique and powerful way. Please help my students to process, to connect, and to heal through these poems.
