Read to Succeed !

Funded Sep 21, 2022

I am beyond grateful for all of the resources that my students have received in the past few weeks. Now, my students have a variety of novels in our classroom library. They are beyond happy to see a variety of genres and selections . My students will be using these novels during their silent reading time in addition to taking them home if they decide to write one of their book reports on a selected book of choice.

One of the first comments that drew attention to my heart was when one of my students said, " Oh wow Mrs. Rios, I am finally going to read the book that I wanted my mom to purchase for me ; however, never she never has time to go buy it for me " Listening to a student express those words touch me not only as a teacher but as a mother. While also seeing students express their gratitude by thanking me and all of you who took the time to donate. They said to me that they will do the same when they grow up if their is a class in need of books .

Moving forward , I plan on allowing my students to choose any book of choice during our silent reading time . In addition to our classroom novels and materials , I would like to put together another project for a kidney table. A kidney table will allow my students to be able to work collaboratively with their peers .

Thank you once again for your generous donations as my students appreciate every single one of you .”

With gratitude,

Ms. Rios
