My students are special, kind and more than deserving of resources that will enhance their education. I love how unique each student is and I love their love for learning! Some of the students I teach do not come from much which only makes me want to give them more resources and more interactive lessons that I can in our classroom!
I am teaching every student in my K-5 elementary school science every week.
I see each grade level every single day which is so wonderful! I am starting off teaching Kindergarteners the first bit of science they will know, meanwhile I am teaching 5th graders science that will prepare them for Middle School and FSA testing to come all in the same day. My job is very special to me, and as a first year teacher straight out of college I am reaching out as much as I can to support my classroom and my students with what they deserve!
My Project
I am a first year teacher starting in the middle of the school year. I am teaching Science to the WHOLE school! How exciting! This means I am in need of science books for all grade levels.
I want to incorporate independent reading time for my students with fun, exciting science books!
One of the centers I want to incorporate is independent reading. I have included lots of different leveled non-fiction readers on my donors choose. I want to provide my students with a classroom library that will fit ALL of their needs!
The students at my school nearly all come from low-income households. This means when they go home they may not have access to new books with bright pictures and interesting facts. I want my students to be able to learn the most they can and have all of the resources they need while they are at school.
More than half of students from low‑income households
