Summer Learning Prevents Learning Loss

Help me give my students books and workbooks to utilize over the summer break. I hope this will help prevent the learning loss that typically happens over summer break.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The majority of my students are from low income households. This means that many of them have never had books of their own. Reading is the most important subject, as it is used in every subject and circumstance.

Please help me give my students their own personal libraries at home, as well as a math practice book.

This will help us to overcome the typical summer learning loss.

My goal with this project is to allow students two books and a math workbook take home and keep. This would be one way to promote a love of reading for these students. Thank you for considering my project.
