My Project

I am a 4th grade teacher in a public elementary school. I am trying to foster a love of reading as well as help the students to increase their reading ability.

This year I have introduced a nightly reading challenge.

The students are encouraged to read a book and then complete a star Review. The expectation is that they complete a min of five sheets weekly.

The students have been doing a great job. They love choosing books and completing the homework. These books would add new/ different books to our library.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
