We Need to Read to Vote for Our Children's Choice Book!
My students need the 24 books which have been nominated for the 2011 Rhode Island Children's Book Award.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. N.'s classroom raised $384
This project is fully funded
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.
My Students
Books have the power to transport us to other worlds. We meet characters who become our friends, and we travel to places both imagined and real.
My students attend an urban charter school in a city that has been hit hard by rising unemployment and foreclosures.
They come to school every day, eager to learn and to read, read, and read more! The more they read, the more they want to read. Reading books expands their world, and opens them up to possibilities beyond the here and now.
My Project
By participating in the state's Children's Book Award project, my students will be able to connect to the larger community of readers, and join other children in casting votes to decide on favorite titles. They will come to understand that their vote counts and their reading matters.
My school does not have a library, and I do not have funding to purchase these additional titles.
Your support for this project will enable my students to take part in this project. My students will share these books with all the 5th graders at our school. Your gift will make lots of reading happen!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
