A Very Literate Classroom

Help me give my students the materials they need to become better readers and writers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Baer's classroom raised $575

My Project

This year, my students need a lot of support with their reading and writing skills. I would like to provide them with a variety of engaging literature at a variety of levels so that all students will have book choices that will foster an increased interest in reading independently.

In addition to increasing my classroom library, I would also like to give the students materials that will make them excited to do more writing.

By giving them binders to organize their materials, fun erasers to use when working through the writing process, stickers on their work, and printer ink so they can have color for their published work, the students will feel more motivated to participate in our writing activities.
