My Project

We are building our class library from the bare bones. These books will allow us to expand our library center. These books will provide students with the space and opportunity to build their vocabulary and phonics knowledge. We will use these books for both independent and teacher led experiences.

Representation matters.

Children need to see themselves in books. Creating readers and possibly authors begin in the early grades. My students are at different reading levels so these selection of books will encourage all to pick up a book and read.

Dr. Alexander Montebello Elementary Middle School 44 Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
