My Project

I am fortunate to teach an amazing group of 6th graders at our Title 1 school, where many of my students don't often get the chance to experience the joy of holding a real book in their hands. These kids are full of curiosity, creativity, and a deep desire to learn. They inspire me every day with their resilience and eagerness to grow, despite the challenges they face.

My goal with this project is to create a vibrant, welcoming Reading Nook—Where Books Rock!—that will become a haven for exploration and imagination.

To make this space truly special, we need some essential resources: A small group table to guide student reading, small group sets of books, headphones, and other items that will help bring stories to life.

Class Sets of Books: These will allow us to dive into stories together, sharing the joy of reading and discussing the adventures we encounter along the way.

Headphones: These will help students focus on audiobooks and other reading materials, especially those who need a quieter environment to concentrate.

Small Group Table: This table will be the heart of our reading center, providing a space where I can work with students in small groups, offering personalized instruction and support. Whether we’re reading together, discussing books, or practicing reading strategies.

By providing these resources, you're not just donating items—you’re helping to create an environment where my students can develop a lifelong love for reading. You’re giving them the opportunity to discover new worlds, build their vocabulary, and improve their comprehension skills in a way that digital resources alone can’t achieve.

What makes my students special is their ability to overcome obstacles and their eagerness to learn. They deserve every opportunity to succeed, and this reading center will be a big step toward that goal.
