Help me give my students completed series to read in our classroom library. With these books, you will help complete the most popular series in our class.
My school is comprised of 690 students. Of those students, 63% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. We have just recently attained Title I status due to this. I have seen that my students are faced with many challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite these challenges they face, they still want to learn and succeed. My students deserve every opportunity to do so. I have also noticed that many of my students do not have access to books at home. Which leads to lower reading interests and scores. I strive to make them love to read, what better goal is there?
How can we close the achievement gap when students do not have the basic school supplies they need to succeed?
Students that do not have their supplies are proven to be left behind as well as feel like they are not good enough. No child should have to feel inferior to another due to circumstances that are out of their control.
My Project
These books are the missing pieces to the series we already have available in our room. The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is very popular and these are some of the newer titles that my kids are dying to read. The Dog Man books fly off the shelf and my kids would love to have more than just the first three to choose from. Skeleton Creek is my personal favorite and the kids love to read and watch the videos that go along with it.
All of these books will bring a smile to my students' faces!
They love all of the series represented here and I am hoping to provide a few of the newer titles, as well as replace some that I have been loved!
