Ms. Tucker Shaver Elementary School
Portland, OR Grades 3-5

I'm a 4th/5th grade looping teacher. The school I work at is 92% poverty and 65% mobility. The students work hard and love learning! They come from very tough situations but attend school daily..with a smile on their face!

I have a 1 1/2 hour language block in my classroom. Currently, I have a non-fiction station. The students love it! Unfortunately, our school doesn't have enough non-fiction books. We need more!

These non-fiction books will be used in our non-fiction station during our reading time. These books cover our standards and interest my students. They will learn skills on research, locating information and key facts using non-fiction.

Your help will allow my 28 students to learn more about different subjects in non-fiction. I can also use these books with my future students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
