Benjamin Franklin once said, "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." Students need to be involved in their learning so that they can take ownership of what they are doing. Students need to get their hands "dirty" by using them to research, create, and make learning meaningful. I will teach about 20 eager, energetic third-grade students in my classroom this year. We are a CEP, Title I school which means 100% of our students participate in the free lunch program.
All of our students are eager to learn and need experiences that they do not get at home.
Many of our children come from single-parent or military homes. We want parents to associate school with love, learning, and caring. We would like to change parents' points-of-view from the negative experiences they may have had as children, to be able to see the positive experiences we provide their children through rich literature and unforgettable activities.
My Project
My students need exciting and challenging books to get them excited about reading daily! Your generosity will put these books into the hands of our students. All of these books are about different topics and characters that are new to my students. I know they won't be able to put them down. When my students get excited about books, there is no stopping them!
Our students love to read, but we don't have books to help them explore their interests.
Let's work together to fix that! Your generosity will put books in my students' hands. These books will be placed in our classroom library and kids will be able to choose them to read independently. Your gift will inspire them to read, learn, and take over the world!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
