My Students

This is my fourth year teaching in a New York City public school. I am a special education teacher in a 2nd-grade ICT (Integrated Co-teaching) classroom.

I made it a priority as I started my career as a teacher that even though I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I know I can certainly control their POSITIVE experiences during the school day in a creative and positive way.

My students are creative, clever and very spontaneous. As a teacher in a title one school, my students are faced with various situations both in and out of the classroom. Many of my students are being raised in a single parent household and receive free/reduced lunch based on their socioeconomic status. My school is a comprised of a high percentage of students with IEP’s and students who are English Language Learners. Even though these things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us take for granted. Despite the many situations they face, from the minute my students walk in the door of my classroom, I center on their innocence, growth and positivity.

My Project

My 2nd graders love to read and learn. Books allow them to learn through reading. The feeling of a book in your hands should be a feeling every child gets to experience.

In second grade, independence and making the right choice are important to my students and me.

The leveled books in this project will allow all my students to locate books on their level to improve and get better in reading. I want to provide them with different books to browse from. Some students aren’t able to buy books or get to go to the library. I want to deliver my students with a variety of authors and give them the chance to enjoy the same books I experienced growing up.

My students get so excited when I add a new book I’ve bought from my personal pocket. Envision their eyes when they see new books donated from my friends and family. The books I have asked for in this project are mostly realistic fiction, a genre that my students are fascinated in.

Your donations will support not only our classroom library, but also the students that it helps. Keeping our library updated and interesting to all of the readers in my classroom will help keep them on the path to becoming not only lifelong readers, but also lifelong learners.
