My students need 26 copies of Scholastic Class Magazines, 24 copies of Science Reader, and 26 copies of 100 Words Skill books to enhance their English Language Arts skills and Science knowledge of animals.
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
This is a 2nd grade Dual Language (English-Mandarin) class of about 23 students in District 1 in Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. Most of my students come from low-income families and my school is a Title I school. Many of them receive free lunches based on their socioeconomic status.
Despite the many challenges they face (such as little food at home), my students are always so smiley, so kind, thoughtful and so generous.
They will save their snacks and surprise me by leaving snacks such as an apple, a banana or a pack of cranberries on my desk! Their words, "You need brain food!" made my heart melt! They are intelligent, fun loving, creative and very spontaneous.
I am looking to provide my students with hands-on fun, meaningful learning experiences. And I need your help to fund our projects!
My Project
Half of my 2nd grade students are reading below grade levels while the other half are on and or above grade level.
My students need Scholastic class magazines and skill books that will stimulate their interest in reading and build nonfiction informational reading skills.
These Scholastic class newspapers/magazines/skill books expand the curriculum with an unlimited amount of information to use as background for learning activities. Through the use of these exceptional magazines and skill books during our reading and writing workshops, I'm hoping they will help increase my students' content area knowledge.
Your generous donation to our project will improve our 2nd grade classroom by building a stronger reader and writer. This will change our students' lives for the better.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
