Help me give my students the supplies they will need to create their own books.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fiori's classroom raised $559

My Project
The binding machine and its supplies will engage students in the stages of the writing process and motivate reluctant writers by linking them to a topic of interest. My students will improve writing skills when it's their own original work.
Students will organize their ideas, express their thoughts, edit the text and inspire creativity, and best of all bind it to share with others.
This enhances their spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. It can also boost their reading skills when they can read stories made by themselves and others in their class, and provide a sense of achievement. It also may encourage a love of reading.
The button making machine will allow students to promote their written works throughout the school. They can design their own buttons to hand out to other students to get them interested in reading and setting an example for the lower grades.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
