Ms. Serres from Seattle WA is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Reading and Relationships

Help me give my students something to read and look forward to while staying at home. I want to give each student a copy of book they can enjoy and talk about with me.

My Students

My students represent a diverse group of people living in Seattle. My students come from every walk of life and they all have different ways to express themselves.

I want to give my students books to allow them to keep exploring other worlds even while stuck at home.

My Project

My students have been having a hard time connecting because being online. I would love to get books to share with them that we can read together.

Having a shared reading experience can build relationships with students.

This will help students feel like more of a community. They will trust me and their classmates more by having a shared reading experience.

These books not only will help them build trust, but they are excellent examples of scientists of color, something that our curriculum severely lacks. I hope these books will encourage my students to get excited about science no matter their background.
