Authors in Action

My students need a bookbinding machine and related materials to create their own stories for our class library.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carrico's classroom raised $252

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are ready to become authors! They will love the opportunity to have their story turned into a book.

My students are a very creative bunch, ready to create fabulous stories, if given the chance.

They have wonderful imaginations, and would love to come up with amazing stories that can be read again and again. These young children have so much to say, and a bookbinding machine and binding materials would allow them to share their ideas.

My Project

These students would be able to come up with fun, inspired stories that are meaningful. A bookbinding machine and binding materials would allow their stories to be preserved and placed in our class library to be revisited often. The students will take pleasure in being able to be proud authors and witness their hard word being preserved.

Allowing students to see that their ideas and hard work creating stories is worthy of being preserved and shared with others could ignite a spark.

Students will be given the opportunity to feel the joys of being an author.
