This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are energetic, enthusiastic, and hardworking. They come from a low socioeconomic area of New York, and they never allow their circumstances to dictate how their days should go despite how most of their days start. This year I work with a group of students that need exposure to a more rigorous curriculum.
All of my students' access to meet the grade requirements started off shaky, but they are making gains every day.
Through project based work, they will have every opportunity to meet and exceed the requirements.
My Project
The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where and how this resource will be used. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! The magazine subscriptions will give my students resources to learn about the world and practice close reading in preparation for the state and local assessments.
The donations to this project will help to improve my students' understanding of and competency in authentic, meaningful reading and writing about texts.
.
By getting this resource and implementing the Reader’s and Writer's Workshop model, my students will begin to see themselves as true authors and illustrators. We will use these materials to aide us in the process of becoming life-long readers and writers. As the teacher, I have done extensive research and know that these subscriptions will help in closing the gap for my students when engaging in reading and writing about nonfiction. Yet I truly need your support to make this a reality. Thanks!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
