My students need award pencils as incentives to read and a paperback book revolver to create a beautifully organized classroom library.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Garcia's classroom raised $466

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
Do you remember your first visit to the library? It was so easy to find the perfect book because all the books were so neatly organized. How could someone find the perfect book when all the books are mixed up? Our classroom has very limited space, causing our few bookshelves to be overcrowded.
I teach an energetic group of eighth graders in a public charter school.
Their enthusiasm for learning makes them so much fun to teach. As a class, we celebrate effort and success. They work very hard and try their best to reach their goals. This year, they want to become proficient readers and writers.
They are definitely ravenous readers. They share books with one another and even create their own book clubs! However, not being able to find a book right away can be discouraging for anyone.
The majority of my students don't have access to their public libraries due to transportation or family issues. Also, they don't have a personal library of their own at home. Therefore, they solely depend on our classroom library for reading material.
My students are so eager to come to school everyday. I just want them to get what they came for: a great education!
My Project
A paper back book revolver (book organizer) is just what our library needs!
As an English teacher, I aim to inspire students to become lifelong readers. I share my passion for reading and how books have transformed my life.
This donation will turn our limited classroom library into a reading delectable buffet. My students' brains will water as they discover the many delicious options. Certainly, they will want to try them all!
Reading reminds my students that they are scholars. As they read, they will acquire new vocabulary enabling them to express themselves confidently in their second language (orally and through writing). As they become more proficient in English, they will be able to think more critically about what they read and evaluate literature at a higher level.
This project will help my students go from good to great academically and personally. I want all my students, including English Language Learners and Special Education to be proficient or advanced in English.
This project is of great importance because it will transform students' lives academically now, and in the future.
The knowledge they gain from reading will open doors to opportunity for them. This project will help my students continue on their path towards success in high school, college, and life.
