Help me give my students science-based read alouds for my younger STEAM students.
FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Rose Malinowski's classroom raised $341
This project is fully funded
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
My students live in a low-income/high-poverty urban school district. Their experiences are limited. They are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom, with challenges including emotional trauma, a high mobility rate, and many other special needs.
Many of them are being raised in single-parent households, and 99% receive free lunch and breakfast.
My students are 70% Hispanic and 30% African-American. I have several ELL students in my class as well as special needs students. The majority of my students are far below the national and state standards in reading and math.
My Project
I teach kindergarten through 8th grade in a STEAM lab. It is my first year teaching STEAM, so finding the right books is really important.
To engage my younger STEAM students, I would like to base my lessons off of a read aloud.
I plan to read these books and record myself reading, so even my students who are unable to hear them live, will still benefit from the lesson. All of these books will support a STEAM lesson and we will explore the science concepts as well as create wonderful art, all while learning how things work and grow.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
