Elevate Learning

Help me give my students more reading materials so they can site textual evidence in their writing.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lapuz's classroom raised $690

My Project

I am requesting these materials because they will allow me to elevate the learning in my classroom. Having class sets of books will make it so every student can follow along as we are reading aloud in class. An Nevada Academic Content Standard in 5th grade is for stating and using evidence from text, within their writing. Having individual books will allow students to find their evidence efficiently. All other materials being requested will be used to create an environment for learning by taking everyday lessons and making them more interactive with visuals and manipulatives which will help our special populations thrive (EL and IEPs).
