Help me give my students copies of "The Road" for their hybrid instruction!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nix's classroom raised $815

My Students
I teach in an urban, diverse school of 3,000+ students in the heart of Central New York. A typical classroom can have students from Myanmar, Somalia, Bosnia, and Belarus learning side-by-side with students who have never left the state. It makes for quite an interesting teaching and learning experience!
Our school is, even by our state's own calculations, drastically underfunded.
We are a refugee relocation city, and many of our students are the sons and daughters of newly arrived immigrants. Built for 2,000 students, our school is incredibly overcrowded. Teachers share classrooms, students share textbooks, and space is at a premium. Students often do not have access to even the most basic of learning materials, and teachers either pay for it out of their own pockets or the students go without. Even still, it is my goal to make my classroom a safe and versatile space where students can reach their fullest potential!
My Project
We have recently been informed by our administration that we will start school in the fall with a hybrid model. Elementary school students will go to school two days a week and will have remote learning for the rest of the week. The middle and high schools will be online full time and will be phased into this model.
Either way, we will have a hybrid school model for this upcoming year.
Hybrid and remote learning definitely have their challenges! We can no longer hand students the new book we will be reading. Instead, they have to come to school (Covid-19 nightmare for everyone involved!) I would like to be able to give students copies of all the books we will be reading this in September so they don't have to come back to school every time we finish a unit.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
