My students need books for our library! I am requesting books for the beginning of the year that reinforce behavior in the classroom as well as classic reads that all students enjoy.

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 Students
I teach kindergarten students at a school in the Bronx. I work in a Title One school with a variety of levels and needs in one classroom, including English Language Learners. Some of us are in school for the very first time, while some of us were previously in pre-k.
My classroom is a place where students interact with each other to learn and grow.
We are very creative, love to read books, and like to use a wide variety of sensory materials to learn our numbers and letters! Our favorite book is Pete the Cat, I Love My White Shoes. We always try our best to succeed and never give up!
My Project
I am requesting books for my classroom, mainly ones that will help me with setting up a comfortable and welcoming learning environment. The books will definitely set the tone for the rest of the school year. The books that I am requesting touch on certain themes such as school, how to treat others, bullying, family, friendship, making mistakes, acceptance, love, and what it means to be "different". I anticipate great discussions revolving around these books.
My students will be able to relate to these books in many ways.
For many of my students, this will be their very first time in a school setting. They will learn about different emotions, how to treat others, and how to not to judge someone based on his or her appearance, that being different is okay, and that we should never, ever use words to hurt others.
In addition to books that will help me create an effective behavior management system, I also requested a few books that I love. These books would be a great addition to my library including, Where The Wild Things Are and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. It is important to read a variety of books that students enjoy. We can open students minds through reading and your donation will make such a big difference to my classroom!
