A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
The books and materials will be used to develop Read Aloud lessons for students in Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 3-5 grades. BIG is a book about a little girl who must learn to love herself. That story will be combined with heart stickers and pocket mirrors so students can learn to love themself and be proud of who they are. The book CAPE is about a little black boy who must learn to be courageous. This story is paired with capes and masks for students to dress like superheroes and use courage when times are scary.
STEM is a major part of our school culture.
The books called I'M GOING TO BUILD A SNOWMAN, SNOWFLAKE BENTLEY, and THE SCIENCE BEHIND SNOW will be used with students to identify common themes in literature, learn about the first person to capture individual photos of snow, and how to use determination to complete a task. These stories will be paired with a STEM activity in class where students will make fake snow to take home.
The students at our school come from low economic households and have limited background knowledge. COVID-19 has also affected their social and emotional skills. They are in desperate need of engaging activities that will spark their love of reading and help them learn how to love others and themselves to make this world a better place to be.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
