We Need Frindle

My students need 1 teacher's copy of "Frindle", by Andrew Clements, along with 2 audio book copies and 30 paperback copies.

Mrs. M.
Grades 3-5

Welcome to 3rd grade. I currently work with 3rd graders in a predominately Hispanic community. I have been teaching for 17 years working in Special Education, 1st grade and now 3rd grade. I recently returned to school and received my masters degree in curriculum and instruction.

I have a monolingual classroom, however most of my students are of Hispanic decent and have limited English skills. A few of my students are also signed out of the bilingual program by parents and are very limited in English speaking skills. I believe that it is essential for these students to be exposed to a great deal of literature. At this age level they need to be exposed to novels that keep their interest so they develop a love of reading for leisure. "Frindle" is a story that will capture their attention and want them wanting to read more books by this author.

I will need a copy of this book for each student in my classroom. It will benefit future students as it will become part of my classroom library.

With the help of your donation, you will make it possible for my students and students to come to learn the love of reading. They will be inspired by this novel and want to continue their love of reading. They can identify with the character in the story that wants to create a new word for the dictionary and begins to call his pen a frindle.
