Vocabulary Experts in the Making

My students need vocabulary workbooks to build up their reading skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hawkins's classroom raised $158

This project is fully funded

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

With 90% of my school qualifying as high poverty (and 56% "at-risk"), it is essential that I provide them the best educational experiences I possibly can. My scholars are fun, energetic, creative, loving children who need as much support, guidance, and love as I can give them. Providing a safe, organized, accessible environment is the first step in ensuring that my students are excited and comfortable expressing themselves, taking risks, and growing.

CCs are college bound!

This year is critical in their reading development, and a literacy-filled environment will help us prepare them for college.

My Project

Students will utilize the vocabulary workbooks to expand their current vocabulary and understanding of new words in the books they choose to read. Vocabulary acquisition is one of the hardest skills for my students because they have to be exposed to such a large variety of words to learn them, and that can be difficult to achieve without a vocabulary program.

I remember using these same workbooks when I was in school, and I know that they were fun to use and a great way to learn new words.

I want my students to have impressive vocabularies so they can adequately express themselves.
