My Students

My 22 students, mixed of 4th and 5th grade love to read books. They have lots of read aloud, interactive reading, and independent reading sessions, and they need a variety range of books for the library to support their desire and passion for reading. I would really appreciate it if any generous donor can support our community.

My Project

I'm a new teacher this year and I need some help to organize my classroom with more resources. Before I earned the privilege to teach my students as a full-time teacher, I got to know them as their substitute teacher during the COVID lockdown. Seeing their living conditions behind their camera, I understood that they are in need of much more than what the school is able to provide. My class needs more books for reading and writing workshop lessons. The book bin will help us to organize the classroom library as well. The chair pocket will be used to organize the classroom better so that students can minimize the time to get over the necessary materials they need during the class. Thank you.
