Mrs. Brinson Trent Park Elementary School
New Bern, NC Grades PreK-2

I teach 1st grade. Our class includes a large population of Burmese and Thai students. We service a very low-income area that is in high-need of quality educational materials.

My students are very interested in writing like popular authors. I plan to do author's studies on some of their favorite authors. We will read several titles from each author and then complete research on that author. We will study why the author uses the words that they use and how we can incorporate them in our writing.

We need several titles from Mercer Mayer, Syd Hoff, Jane O'Connor, and Maurice Sendak. These authors write quality literature that is able to be read by first grade students. They also have wonderful topics that first graders find very interesting!

Your help will ensure that my students have a chance to read and listen to quality literature and learn how to write like "real" authors.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
