I teach kindergarten at a Christian school in Guatemala. I have purchased a curriculum that uses fun, play-based lessons to teach oral language, phonological awareness, comprehension, vocabulary, communication, fine-motor skills, along with many other literacy skills. The program utilizes a particular book and theme each week from which all of the activities and lessons are based. This is why I need your help! The only component we are missing for the program is the weekly book. Unfortunately, it is very difficult and expensive to purchase books in English here in Guatemala. I plan to buy the books used through sites like Amazon and ThriftBooks and bring them to Guatemala in my luggage. I am including a list of the books we need at the end of this post. I know that many of you are teachers with classroom libraries, so if your prefer to donate a physical book instead of money, I would be equally grateful. Although I will edit the list as books are donated, please let me know so if you are donating a physical book so we do not have duplicates.
*** Because of an unexpectedly generous donation, I am raising the goal and expanding the scope of the fundraiser to include other classroom supplies and resources such as books for other grades, educational toys and activities, math maniplatives, and a laminator.
Thank you so much for your consideration in helping my students! Any little bit helps! I will be sure to post pictures of the kids in action next school year so you can see how your donation helped these children to grow.
