My Project

I have an amazing group of fourth-grade students. Some of the kids in my class are reluctant readers. I know a set of these books would help us learn to love reading even more!

My students come from a low-income community where schooling has been a hard-reachable dream.

Their parents work in fields due to little or no schooling. These parents work hard to have their children have more than what they had. As educators, we have the responsibility to help our students have a bright future.

Let us help our future generation reach their educational dream through books.

Having books in class will allow them to expand their vocabulary and reach a higher education. Reading is the key. Having our classroom full of books will allow each student the opportunity to reach a higher comprehension level.

The book is chock-full of excellent life lessons that help us learn through the humor of the different situations that are depicted.
