Reading is Fun

Help me give my students books for our library and two pencil sharpeners. There are no extra funds for school supplies, and we read and write daily in the classroom.

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 Project

Our classroom is 7th-grade reading. We need new books for our library. Our current books are old and torn and need replacement. Our Title I school has not been able to replace them because there are no extra funds for the school.

We need a pencil sharpener for our pencils and colored pencils.

We read and write in class every day and need our pencils. Currently, we are sharpening our pencils in the classroom next door.

By donating to our project, you will help improve our reading and writing skills, which will increase academic achievement in our classroom. Thank you in advance for helping us classroom our goals.
