My Students

We are a Title I school located in the heart of the East Village. Most of the students come from hard-working immigrant, low-income families. All of the students are eager to play, create friendships, use their imaginations and read, read, read.

My Project

Our students are eager to learn and discover new things! Their eyes open wide when we introduce a new book. Books open their minds to new ideas, they begin to wonder and ask questions and lead our discussions and explorations. When they are set on an idea, a book opens their mind to a new way of thinking and gets them to see different points of view through the experiences of diverse characters. Books also help the students see themselves in the experiences of characters who are similar to them.
