My Students

I am currently a Literacy teacher. I help students and staff in grades Pre-K to Fifth grade with all things Literacy!

I teach at a low socioeconomic school, where 88% of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch.

It is very important for my students to have hands-on materials to enrich their learning experience. Their attention spans are not meant to sit on a rug and listen to a lecture. The best way for students to learn is to have interaction with their subject and to get involved. The children get so excited and are ready to learn when they have opportunities for hands-on activities.

My Project

It's battle time! We are preparing for our Battle of the Books, but we need your help! In order for the classes to compete in Battle of the Books, we need a set of books to read!

I work at the best elementary school!

Over 87% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch. The students are very sweet and aim to please. We are working to inspire a love for reading and improve our students' reading abilities. These books will benefit grades 3-5.

Our school and county hosts a Battle of the Books competition. Each team is comprised of students who have read some, if not all, of the books on the Sunshine List. There are 15 books on the Sunshine List for the school year 2021-2022. We are encouraging all of our students in grades 3-5 to read some of the books, so they can be eligible to compete in the battle. I am requesting a set of books. The books will be available to students and teachers. The students can independently read the books and the teachers can read the books to their whole class. We need the set of book for our students to prepare for the Battle of the Books competition.

I am hoping that if a child likes a specific book and author, they will read other books by the same author. The books will also help students read a variety of genres and story structures. Your donation will help inspire many students to read for pleasure and learn in the process. These books will be used this year for battle, but will continue to be read and enjoyed for years to come. Thank you for helping!
