Mrs. M. from VA is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

From A to Bravo Zulu!

My students need motivating and interesting books and CDs in our classroom library to get them hooked on reading.

  • $471 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

My students are 4th graders whose parents are all in the military, sometimes deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Some of my students in my inclusion classroom have special education learning needs, including autism and Asperger's Syndrome.

Have you ever felt left out in anything? Many of my students move from school to school and lose something in the process...the love of learning. They miss some explanation of a topic in science or math or they don't get enough practice in reading, so they fall behind. These are my students.

My classroom library would really sparkle if I could add some high interest CD's and books that my students could enjoy. This would help them jump back into the educational process and get motivated again.

How many smiles would it take to convince you to support our classroom by purchasing some of our books or CD's? Well, I can promise you that there will be 26 smiling faces, including the teacher's, if you could help us out! Don't forget that you would also be bringing many smiles to their military parents' faces because anything you do for their children shows them that you are supporting their service to our country. Supporting our project would elicit a Bravo Zulu from us for a Job Well Done funding our project! [Navy people out there would know that in Naval signal flag language, the B and Z letter flags mean "Well Done" so if you feel generous, your funding will take us through the alphabet from "A" to "BZ"!]
