My Students

My students are amazing! They come with tenacity, creativity, and a wide variety of experiences and gifts. We work hard every day as scholars, artists, critical thinkers, and friends. Together we imagine new possibilities for our community, our country, and the world.

At our school, 96% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and 92% of the students are students of color.

My students have come from many different parts of the world including Ecuador, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Ethiopia, Somalia, and the United States. The majority of my students are learning English as a second or third language.

My students are the engineers, pilots, dentists, poets, and architects of the future. These students have the capacity to achieve greatness.

My Project

I am requesting high interest graphic novels for my beginning readers. I have several students who are struggling to find the right books for them and at the right level. We read every day. Staying excited about reading takes books! We have already discussed using the library as a resource, but our class has a great desire to access books right in the classroom. As the classroom teacher, I want to provide students access to books that are diverse and engaging and completely accessible. My students will love to read these high-interest books.

Help us find our next great book!

Help us learn to love reading! Help us get excited to talk about reading with our friends and school community.

A great library is essential for a classroom. A great library includes diverse books for all readers. Great books matter. Thank you for considering our project.
