Closing the Vocabulary Gap

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Price's classroom raised $949

My Project

My students are amazing. They love learning and soak up information like sponges. I have a couple books that match our learning units, and they DEVOURED them. There was a line to see who would check out next. They were obsessed.

I would love to add more books to our classroom library so students can continue learning about subjects of interest to them.

Also, while teaching I have found the need to other materials like microscope, globe, maps etc. All of these materials will help my students close the gap by closing the vocabulary gap.
