Help me give my students books that teach activism so they can bring about change.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Steger's classroom raised $423
This project is fully funded
My Students
First and second graders are energetic, enthusiastic, and super social. They are so enjoyable to be around. They love being involved in the learning process and want to succeed. Our goal as a classroom is that we enter the classroom each day ready to try new things and be brave to make mistakes. Mistakes lead to learning. As a teacher in an impoverished urban area in Milwaukee, WI, we struggle to have access to resources needed to provide a quality twenty-first century education. My goal is to provide an equitable education for each student in our classroom.
I teach eager and enthusiastic students who need these resources to reach their full potential.
My Project
As an educator that believes in teaching social justice, I believe that activism can start at any age. Books have the ability to educate, but also motivate children to seek the change the world that they wish to see.
The books I have requested will be used to show that students' voices matter.
Through addressing topics around social justice and activism, my students will develop social and culture awareness, empathy, and to critically think about the world around them. Children have the power to change the world. Let's educate and motivate them.
Nearly all 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
