Students Like to Read. They Just Need a Good Book!
Help me give my students the chance to expand and enrich their passion for reading by giving them stories they will actually enjoy.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Cedeno's classroom raised $298
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 Project
As an English teacher, I have always tried to pass along my passion for reading to my students. I do this by offering books that are not only age appropriate, but also retellings, as well as visually appealing classics that awaken their interest and immerse them in fictional worlds which could also help them become creative writers themselves down the road.
I am looking to continuously grow my classroom library with books that invite and encourage students to not only read more but also become better critical thinkers and writers.
I use many of the books in my classroom library during curriculum-based lessons as examples/alternatives to core readings, giving students a different perspective throughout the experience.
More than half 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
