Help me give my all second grade students books to take home in a take home pouch to help them continue to practice reading at home. Books to help them have a bright future and encourage them to continue reading outside of school. Books to teach them about Citizenship and Character from Teacher's School Supply. I can read books to increase students rigor from AKJ Education. I also need take home book pouches so they have somewhere to store the books when they're done reading them and can always have a safe place to keep them. They are so excited to be able to have books to take home to keep and read with family members. By donating to our project, you will not only help to increase students willingness to read but also increase students overall academic success. Reading sets the foundation for our students, whether they're at school or at home. By helping fund this project, you aren't just changing one student life, you are helping a generation. The Apple AirPods Pro headphones are for when my students are taking running records assessments on Raz-Kids. They read a book to the computer and answer questions. Then I go back in and listen to them and grade it to see if I need to increase or decrease the student reading level.
