Funded Nov 30, 2021When most people hear about my class; learning issues, behavioral issues and where we are located they shy away from getting involved or supporting. Donors Choose allowed my students to realize that someone other than me can care about their learning. They live in a difficult section of the Bronx where shootings, killings, robbery and gang violence are a part of their every day life and reading is not on the top of their list. Many do not have parents that take an active part in their academic life or their normal day life and do not understand the importance of reading for children.
I hope this thank you letter shows my appreciation for the donors of my program. In order to "Believe in Yourself" support is required from your family and your community and that is what these donations show. My students listen more intently and with more enthusiam when they enjoy what they are reading. They learn more about literary elements and what they need to be aware of when reading. Students with disabilities will turn to reading independently when they enjoy their reading and know someone has believed in them as well.
Thank you again!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Chiappa
