    Thank you so much for your donations. You have no idea how much it means to me and my students that they get to read this important book by Angie Thomas, The Hate Give. The students are going to be screaming when they hear that we are getting the books. It’s so special for them to be getting to have the books and the movie. What a great heart you have.

  • The Hate U Give Field Trip

    Funded Sep 28, 2018

    Thank you so much for your donation! We are fully funded because of your efforts! I can't wait to tell my bookworms that we are going to the MOVIES! They were so thrilled with the possibility but now it's a reality because of you. I can't express enough how much your donation means to my students and I. We are reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas right now and it's going to be extra special that we get to go on this trip. Thank you again for all your support and your contribution to this project. I struggled in the beginning with creating this project online since it was my first time using the site but now it's all worth it. You have made a bunch of bookworms super

    happy and their teacher. Thank you!!! "Let's Go To The Movies!"”

    With gratitude,

    Teacher Martinez

I partnered with Greenlight bookstore to provide author visits. Last year we had Jason Reynolds, David Barclay Moore, Keely Hutton and Sarah Moon. During school hours students read books in advisory and participate in an author visit where students have a chance to ask questions directly to the author. For most students this is their FIRST TIME meeting an author. Bookworms, the after school book club is where students self select to read books and meet weekly to discuss them for two-three hours. During the book club we do writing prompts inspired by the book, read aloud, and have a student lead discussion about the chapters we read at home. We read books by authors of color and students choose books that they want to read as a club from a curated list. In the book club snacks, beverages, journals for writing entries and folders are provided for each student. We read Young Adult and adult books.
