My Students

Have you ever struggled learning something, my students struggle with reading fluency and comprehension of stories. Having these materials will allow students to read more fluent and comprehend what they have read.

I am a first-grade teacher and teach a variety of subjects from reading/math to science and social studies.

The school that I teach in is a Title I school whose students, many of whom do not speak English at home, come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. These elementary students also tend to come from single-parent homes, to have grandparents raising them, or to be in financial need. I would love to bring reading into my students' homes. Reading is a very important part of everyday life, and my students need to practice every chance that they can get. That is why I would like to get daily reading logs and take-home backpacks for my students. Most of my students do not have the funds for storybooks or notebooks. Having these two things would let my students practice reading, practice writing, and help get their families involved also.

My Project

I would like to have the books for students to be able to share their reading with their families. Many of my students do not have the funds to purchase books for the home, and many times the transportation to visit the local library. The composition books will allow the students to help them process what they read, they will be able to show their comprehension.

Your help will ensure that my students are able to practice at home the reading and writing skills that they have learned in the classroom.

This will also help involve my students' parents in their child's learning.
