Help me give my students a chapter book we can read as a class.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finnell's classroom raised $218
This project is fully funded
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.
My Students
My students come from a high-risk, low social economic area of California.
Many come from single parent households, with a high percentage living below the poverty line.
They live with daily violence in a community that visually seems depressing. My students want to learn and thrive but have very limited resources outside of the school. Our teachers and school staff work very hard at enriching the lives of the students at our school. We want the very best for EVERY student. However with limited financial resources our students don't always have what's needed to have adequate access to the essentials of learning.
My Project
My students need books. This will be their first opportunity to read a chapter book as a 3rd grader. The more opportunities my students have to read books that they may not be able to access at home, the better. I want them to fall in love with reading. We will have an opportunity to read and discuss the major concepts of a non-fiction genre.
When they can read and enjoy it, they will succeed across the academic board.
Having the ability to read and discuss in small groups will allow me to teach them to read at a level they can understand, a level that is their own. The love of reading lasts a lifetime.
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
