Books for Students

Funded Sep 15, 2023

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the impact you have helped me build in my classroom through your generosity. We have been loving all of our new books and we have been using them in many different ways. First grade seems to be the grade where that spark for the love of books comes to fruition. That is why I love teaching first grade so much. Most of my students, 3/4 of them, are just now learning to read. They have been obsessed with the Pigeon collection by Mo Willems. We have been using those books to discuss fiction elements, such as, character traits and settings. We have been loving the "A Little Spot of Emotion" book set to discuss social emotional learning every single morning. The students have been able to connect to the dots in discussing what hurts their feelings, what makes them happy, excited, sad, etc. These books are so kid friendly and they really encourage students to name thier emotions. We are so grateful for all of you and your generosity! It takes a village to raise kids, thanks for being a part of our village!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Lela
