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 have very special, needy students in my integrated co-teaching class. We are a Title I funded school. The disabilities affecting my students range from speech and language to autism. They just don't have the resources available that they need.
I have a wonderful class.
They are learning to work together, be more creative, be more independent, and have a more positive outlook on life. My amazing students come into school every day with an eagerness to learn something new.
My students are curious, funny, charming, and hard-working. They motivate me to be a better teacher, and I always want to make sure they have everything they need to make learning fun.
My Project
Funding for this project will furnish us with books at different levels for students that will allow them to learn and practice specific and targeted reading skills and strategies. Giving my students books they actually want to read is so important.
My students need books now more than ever.
Every student deserves to have access to books! These books will be used in our classroom for daily use. Students will be able to go to their leveled bin and choose any book that is on their reading level. We will also be able to use them for distance learning. With the global pandemic, it is crucial NOW more than ever that we get books that kids can read in their HANDS! This will allow us resources to use at home.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
