My Students

My students study insects as part of our 2nd grade curriculum, but they do not have any books to read independently about the subject.

I teach a class with 22 2nd grade general education students.

They are very eager learners and soak up everything that they are taught. My students attend an inner city school and they face challenges in their personal lives every day, but they make the most of what they have.

My Project

Please help us purchase non-fiction books about insects at my students' independent reading levels. They will be used at silent reading time to build upon their science knowledge. We also need reading games for centers at their level to expand on their reading skills.

Please help us purchase these materials for our classroom!

This is your opportunity to donate to a class that would really appreciate your contributions. Any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for taking the time to read our proposal!!
