Mrs. Ramon-Valdez from Katy TX is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Reading and Relaxing

My students need books to read that meet their individual needs and a comfortable space to enjoy them. My students love to read and we would love some new books to add to our collection.

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 Students

I am a teacher in an area of low-income and high poverty students who come to school to be loved first and then to learn. Over 76% of the students are labeled as economically disadvantaged, and over 45% are English as a second language learners.

My students have a variety of abilities and disabilities that make my classroom a beautiful rainbow of colors.

We all come together for the common goal of building a loving classroom environment where each child can flourish to their full individual potential.

I strive to provide my students with meaningful learning experiences each and every day. I cannot control what happens outside of school, but I do my best every day to make sure they are safe, loved, and confident learners. After all, kindergarten is where we build a solid foundation for the rest of their educational careers.

My Project

As a kindergarten teacher, I know that importance of having a variety of books available for my students. They need books that spark their interest and a safe and comfortable space to read in.

I will strive to provide my students with a safe place where they can comfortably practice their reading skills on books that are age appropriate.

I would love to have the chairs for my students to be able to relax and read in a pressure-free environment. My students do not have exposure to a literacy rich environment in their homes and I want to be the one to expose them to the world of reading!
