I teach at an older, urban school where many of my kids are trying very hard to learn, and at the same time, they are learning how to navigate being in school. Almost all of my students qualify for free breakfast and lunch; often, those free meals are the only food they have. More than half of my students come from low-income homes but we are not a Title I school, and, as a result, we lack the resources and opportunities that many other schools have.
This pandemic has been hard on my students, but they have persevered and now I want to reward them for being Reading Heroes with some special books.
I am requesting enough superhero books so that each student gets to have 2 to read and keep as well as some snacks and fun hero socks.. With the support of donors, my hard working second graders will get to take off their shoes, put on their special reading socks and read the day away. I know these books will be perfect for our read-in celebration fun.
I have also requested some inexpensive hero snap bracelets and bookmarks so kids can remember this Read-in. I am asking for a variety of snacks so students can munch as they read. Our school generally provides fruits/vegetables for lunch but by afternoon, my kids are starving and need a snack.
I am convinced that simple creative celebrations are an essential part of the school year. My students desperately need to take time to celebrate their good work.
Our school has no money for this type of project. My students are the most wonderful kids in the world, and they need your help. Please consider donating.
More than half of students from low‑income households
