Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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.
"I like to read, just not these books!"
It's daily reading time in my class. Even when my students don't verbalize the statement above, their apathy is evident. Everyday, the same students waste as much time as possible pretending to look for a book. They fool no one when they stare with glazed-over eyes at the same pages day after day.
I teach at a military themed high school. Out of my 120 students, 110 are boys. My independent reading library is all too small, and all too biased. There is no school library. My boys, the majority in my classes, are overlooked and left waiting desperately for a book that interests them. Meanwhile, precious instructional and learning time passes. They only have months before the English Regents and SATs. They are years behind their suburban peers in reading levels. Please don't let them fall through the cracks!! They need to be prepared to read college texts and become lifelong readers.
You can help. All my students need is literature that appeals to THEM. We need books that will help my students navigate their all-too-demanding adolescent years. Although 85% of my school lives in poverty, I have seen many students with the Twilight series. These books are currently extremely popular with teens in wealthy and non-wealthy school districts alike. My students deserve the same, interesting books as their peers who do not face the same challenges to make it to school. Please provide my students with a classroom set of the "Twilight" series.
This donation is not just about books. These books offer a chance for students to connect with a world outside their own. Please, please, please give my students a chance at educational and lifelong success. Don't give up on this chance to open up the world of literature and a new world of opportunities!
