Nurturing a Love of Literacy

The Description

My students are developing readers.  They are learning to love books and are diving deeply into new texts every day.  With these funds, I am hoping to refresh my classroom library by adding new books I know they will love as well as books that reflect them and their diverse backgrounds.  It is so important to instill in my kids a love a reading and without quality, interesting books it is difficult to do so.  A flourishing classroom library is one of the first steps to a lifelong love of learning.

Back Up Plan

If we do not reach our goal I will purchase as many books as possible with whatever funds are available.

About the Creator

I am excited to be a part of the TFA family and join the movement to solve education inequity in this country and provide all students with a quality education. I'm fortunate enough to be selected from a nationwide talent applicant pool to join a teacher corps comprised of leaders who commit a minimum of two years to teach in high need public schools. This summer I will be participating in an intensive skill and knowledge development program aiming to increase student achievement as well as a comprehensive professional development program including seminars, discussion groups, workshops, and content and professional learning communities specific to teaching license areas. I can't wait for my first year with Teach for America.
