Reading Machines

My students need a variety of resources that will help them become readers. The colored ink is crucial for reading certificates, take-home reading material, parent newsletters. They also need to get their hands on books.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are an eager bunch ready to learn. They are a group that range in grade levels from K-6th grade. These mighty little jaguars are resilient to the adversities that surround them in the rough neighborhood they live in. Many of them have parents that work around the clock so they are on campus for 10 hours a day, five times a week making our school their first home.

I teach to students that have have learning gaps in reading foundational skills which later becomes difficult for them to reach benchmark reading levels.

I love that they own their deficiencies and understand that they must work extra hard to reach the goals they have set for themselves. I celebrate every stride they make and enjoy making them feel special.

My Project

The most basic things a reading intervention teacher needs are ink and books! I really need a variety of leveled and sight word reading books for my youngest Kindergartener to my oldest 6th grade english learner student. I am confident that the non-fiction sight word books will engage and captivate my students in learning all of the most common sight words.

My students enjoy being recognized with a simple reading certificate.

The ink that will be kindly donated will help me print colorful achievement awards, take-home reading material, and interactive table games. Parents are also motivated to work with their children at home when their child is being recognized with a beautiful certificate.
