Rockstar Readers Need Books!

My Students

My students are brilliant, engaging, and hardworking 4th graders. I have the privilege of teaching these bright and interesting young people each day.

The goal in our classroom is for all students to learn while also seeing themselves as learners who are ready to take on new challenges.

Our classroom community is filled with students who are excited about learning. My school is located in a low-income area; 75% of my students qualify for free/reduced lunch. The neighborhood is a mixture of cultures, first and second-generation immigrants as well as students and families who have called it home for generations. It is an incredible group of families, students, teachers, and community partners.

My Project

My students love to read and love having access to quality literature in our classroom library! Students are so excited when I add new titles to our collection and can't wait to get their hands on new books.

Each day my students read a variety of texts - fiction, nonfiction, chapter books, graphic novels - and I am looking forward to providing new and rich titles for them to choose from!

We need your help!

Our class is also going to read "The Wild Robot" together and it is helpful for each child to have their own copy. Can you help me provide that for my class?
