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
"The more you read, the more things you will know," Dr. Seuss said. Therefore, the more children are exposed to books, the more they will enjoy them! We are getting ready to grab our hats and celebrate NEA's Dr. Seuss Book Drive: "Read Across America" but my students need books to celebrate it!
My preschoolers are a wonderful group of 24 children, they are three and four-years-old and eager to learn.
They have limited educational resources at home because they come from low-income households but they are very enthusiastic learners and happy children! My goal is to provide them with a positive environment at school where they can develop their natural curiosity and desire to learn about the world. They especially like to listen to books during story time. Sometimes we have to read the book twice because they loved it so much! They are fans of Dr. Seuss books because the illustrations are vivid and the words are phonetically age appropriate.
My Project
I'm requesting 3 sets of Dr. Seuss books and bulleting board accents to celebrate Dr. Seuss birthday and Nea's Read Across America with my students. Read Across America is a reading celebration that involves students, parents, and the community members together to share their love of reading. We will be inviting them to come to our school to read to our students. At the end of the week we will be giving each child a Dr. Seuss book to enhance their home library. Our younger children would benefit greatly from these activities because they will become lifelong readers and that will help them succeed not only in school but throughout their entire life.
The Dr. Seuss books that I'm requesting will go directly to our students' home library.
I want them to have access to their favorite books to increase their early literacy skills. If I get this project funded, every child in our classroom will enjoy opening their book over and over; and they also will learn about Dr. Seuss and his legacy. Please donate and impact our students' lives!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
