Engage in Diverse Cultures through Reading
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smith's classroom raised $472
This project is fully funded
My Project
Incorporate a love for reading by providing my student with diverse books about cultures and communities. Students will expand their understanding of people and the world around them. After reading these books they will enhance their writing capabilities as they write new endings to a story they read, write a companion story to one they have enjoyed reading, or even write a book about their unique culture and traditions. My students have a love for learning, and many of my students are advanced readers and need robust books that can enhance their reading and writing skills.
This classroom project was brought to life by The Gates Foundation
