This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Kelly from Poughkeepsie, NY is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Because of Winn Dixie Books

Help me give my students a copy of the book, Beacuse of Winn Dixie, so they can participate in shared reading with their classmates and teachers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kelly's classroom raised $206

My Project

Having access to copies of this piece of literature will allow students better access to the story and shared activities. Because of Winn Dixie is an engaging text that is perfect for lessons about character studies.

Beacuse of Winn Dixie is a book that is loved by our 3rd graders.

We would love to be able to get a copy into each student’s hands during read alouds. Students will then be able to follow along and also refer to the book when completing partner activities and larger cooperative projects based on the book.
