This year I have an incredible group of 25 fifth graders at a school in south Austin. My kiddos are 100% hispanic and 92% of my students are bilingual. We are 95% economically disadvantaged. Majority of my students enter my class with extreme academic, behavior, and/or emotional needs. Earning only a teacher's salary, it is challenging keeping up with the resources I need to engage my students on a daily basis. My kids are eager to read, but we need help growing our classroom library. ANY donation would be invaluable to furthering their growth as individuals and learners. We would be eternally grateful!
