5th Graders Need Read Alouds Too!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Donahue's classroom raised $293
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I teach all of the 5th grade reading / language arts classes in my school. I would love to add more pictures to help demonstrate concepts such as grammar, figurative language, and rhyme.
Many people think fifth graders are too old for read aloud, but I think everyone can learn from a read from a good read aloud. I've chosen books from a variety of authors--many of these books came highly recommended from other teachers.
My classroom is made up a variety of students--many are English Language Learners, and many receive special education services.
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community
and 2 other donors.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
