My Students

This year, I teach a class of 24 ICT (Integrated Co-Teaching) First graders. Forty percent of my class is special education and sixty percent is general education. My school is in a changing neighborhood in New York City. My students have many different learning and management needs in order to ensure a successful educational endeavor.

My students are intelligent and eager to learn.

I am trying to pass on my love for reading to this class, but, as a result of low reading levels and a few interesting books, this has been very challenging. I am trying to create a collaborative classroom that adheres to all of the varied interests of my students.

My Project

In our classrooom, there is a huge range of readers. I have recently gotten a project funded for books for my higher readers but now I need more books for my lower readers. At this young age, students need to have a large amount of books to sustain their reading growth.

In order to keep my readers interested and thriving in their reading lives, I am begging for help in stocking our classroom library.

By donating to this project, you will help to add 100 new books to our library for our lower level readers, reading at levels H-L.

Won't you please consider donating to this project to help spread a love of reading to our students?
