My Students

My students are sweet and curious 5 and 6-year-olds who are eager to learn new things about the world. They are all unique and come from various cultural backgrounds like China, Mexico, South America as well as European and Middle Eastern countries. Most of them speak English as a second language.

They are energetic kindergartners who need to be engaged in learning, and high interest books are a must in the classroom and at home.

My class loves learning and gets excited when learning something new, especially when I take out a new interesting book to read to them.

My Project

These books will help my students because some of them don’t have books at home. I will pay the shipping to make sure they all have at least one book that they will love at home. Please help me provide a love for reading which will help them form a love for learning. This is necessary especially now while they are learning remotely from home. It would mean so much to me to be able to support them in a way that they don’t expect and hopefully light a spark I’m them to try their best to learn.
