My Students

Our Title I school is located in an area that is filled with a very diverse group of young learners. Some, not all, of our students are considered to be both special needs as well as English Language Learners (ELL).

Our students are extremely inquisitive and always asking questions and looking to explore new ideas on a daily basis.

Our students love to collaborate with each other and share ideas, teach others, lends a hand and spread kindness wherever they go.

My Project

The first graders at our school are hard at work developing their reading skills! They’re using all they know to solve mystery words, read with fluency, and understand their books!

Every day our kids have to take their books home to continue practicing this work!

We need durable book baggies to withstand this daily travel to and from school. We need book baggies that have a space for us to write their names and reading levels so they know which books to choose! We need book baggies that will give our children pride in being a reader and build their motivation and enthusiasm!

With your help, our bright, eager first graders will develop their reading skills and make that giant leap in reading levels that first grade is all about. With your help, we got it in the bag!
