Help Ms. D'Amato

I am a 2nd grade teacher at a public school located in the East New York section of Brooklyn. All of my students receive free school lunch. All of my students love to read. Since I began teaching last year I have been trying to provide my students with a large variety of books from which to choose. This has been an ongoing process, as the library I was provided with last year was severely lacking in both variety and quantity. After attending book fairs, as well as receiving generous donations from caring individuals, I am happy to say that this year's classroom library is in much better shape. However, one area that I would still like to improve upon is that of famous large cities of the world. I have just finished a unit of study on New York City with my students, which went wonderfully. I would like my students to be aware of some of the other beautiful cities that are out there, and to able to compare and contrast their great city to other amazing cities in the world. I believe that it is this type of awareness and knowledge which will send my students on their way to becoming smart, savvy, and worldly individuals.
