Binders for Literacy!

Help me give my students 4 sets of 12 binders for their classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Blackshear's classroom raised $168

My Project

I am the reading coach at a beautiful school in Miami. To keep my students organized, I give my students binders to help them stay organized with their work. They sometimes take these binders at home to practice the skills that they have learned.

Please help me continue to keep my students organized with the use of these binders.

Some students who are unable to access online reading resources will be able to print and place the passages in their binders for them to practice their reading skills. The literacy binders should they be funded, will be a huge benefit to my classroom.
