I have 52 wonderful and energetic 1st graders in 2 groups. My kids enjoy reading and they are beginning to love writing too! They love to be active, dance and sing. They can be very silly and always laugh at my terrible jokes. They love to give hugs and drawings to show how much they care. I want them to have the best because they are the best! However, only 4% of my students started this year at grade-level in reading. Ours is a Title 1 school in a low-income area. 95.8% of our students are from families living far below the poverty line. 60% of our students are English language learners. I have a classroom full of eager learners with tons of potential. The items that I'm requesting will help me unlock this potential and stimulate their imaginations. I try to instill in my students that education is the key to a better life and that by becoming great readers and writers, each of them can do great things!
