My students can not afford books, and they do not have libraries at home. I want my students to have equal access to books and a fair opportunity to develop their literacy skills. I will be purchasing HOME libraries for my students.
I have students that are learning English and are refugees. My students come from nothing and have no English language skills when they arrive.
My dream is for my students to be reading at home just like I did when I was a child...
I hope for my students to have exciting new books that they chose themselves!
My primary goal is to create awareness and educate people in the community of Buffalo about the needs of students in our inner city public schools. My number one concern is to spread this awareness so that people are properly informed about the disparities between urban and suburban schools and how that ties to school performance.
If you can not donate, I am asking you to spread my word. It is equally, if not more important to tell the world about these children and the realities that they face.
If you would pass this on, my students and I would be forever grateful. I want you to hear my voice as a public school teacher and I most importantly want you to hear the voices of my students that can't speak for themselves.
Every day I fight to do whatever I can to give my students the best education and the best lives possible given my resources. I hope you can join me in this fight.
*If I raise the intended goal, I will have enough for each student in my class to spend $200 on a Scholastic book order. I have 29 students, which means I will have $200 leftover. I will either use the remaining to purchase books for the classroom, or a bookshelf for a student as an extra prize for hard work.
*Update: I now have 31 students.
