Help me give my students read aloud books that will foster a love of reading!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Phelan's classroom raised $681
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 Project
My students come from a variety of cultures, low-income families, and hard-working, middle-class families, which therefore results in plenty of hardships for them daily. This being said though, they are incredibly resilient. They are dedicated students with wonderful attitudes, despite their disadvantages. The struggles they overcome are more than many adults can handle, but they do so with a smile on their faces.
The books that I have chose to read aloud this year with my class all have aspects in which my students can make connections with and can relate to!
My hope is that in reading these books, not only are students falling in love with reading, they are also building empathy, relating to the various characters in the stories as well as learning about different cultures.
More than three‑quarters of 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
