Hillsborough Education Foundation School and Classroom Enrichment Grants
Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
Spurlino Foundation - $1,015.66
The goal of this project is to provide a wide array of on-level multi-culturally diverse reading materials to my students. The reading material is directly aligned to the new Florida State B.E.S.T. standards and will provide an opportunity not only for my students to achieve their maximum reading potential but will also increase their love for reading!
Many of the books chosen for this project are recommended by the state of Florida for Third Graders and for good reason! They not only represent a multi-culturally diverse assortment, but these books are specifically aligned to the Florida's new B.E.S.T. standards. The state has provided teachers which standards can be learned through each book. Many of the books have received the prestigious Newbery Medal or The Robert F. Sibert Award. Titles included in this diverse selection include: Fredrick Douglas Fights for Freedom, The Real McCoy: The Life of an African-American Inventor, Rosa Parks, . . . If You Traveled on the Underground Railroad, Abraham Lincoln: A Life of Honesty, Pablo Neruda: Poet of the People and many more! Through these books, the students will be learning the rich history that has shaped modern day society as well as learning the latest Third Grade reading standards. I have also requested a lockable charging station to be added to our classroom library. This station will keep devices not only provided by the county, but devices brought in by students, in a secure safe place at all times. The lockable charging station will encourage students to bring in their own devices and will add to academic productivity during our reading block.
I expect each student to make a minimum gain of one year's worth of reading growth. This grant will provide the students the best opportunity to reach their optimum reading potential throughout their Third Grade year! Thank you for your consideration.
All 100+ items will be purchased from Amazon and will be shipped directly to the school at no cost.
