My Students

My students are readers. They devour new titles as soon as I place them on the shelves. Our classroom community is built on the fact that we're all readers. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) we have read many of the books in our classroom and would like to see some new titles in new genres.

My students are high-achieving, readers, writers, and mathematicians.

While 100% of my students receive free lunch, they prove day in and day out that their socio-economic level will not hold them back from success. My current group of students (this is their second year with me) outscored all but five classrooms in our county! Coming from the largest district in the state, this is a quite a feat. The main reason for their success is their love of reading.

My Project

I've selected a variety of texts that are sure to satiate my students thirst for reading. When selecting the text, I chose texts in multiple genres. From graphic novels to poetry to non-fiction, I've selected them all. All of the books that I'm requesting come highly recommended.

By donating, you are helping my students for years to come.

All of the books that I selected will be loved and read again and again. Please help my students continue to find the enjoyment and satisfaction in reading.
