Engaging Literacy Activities

Help me give my students the literacy activities that they need for engaging learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Perales's classroom raised $966

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help me create an engaging literacy instruction for my students. My goal for this project is to create a fun learning environment for my students. My students work hard every day and something that would help my students is to use these fun and engaging activities and games. The whiteboards will be used by students to spell our words when working in a small group. The cubbies will help me organize literacy materials for my students, in the classroom. They will be able to easily find their supplies. The books will help expand our classroom library because my students are newly independent readers who love to read. The writing materials like the compositions and notebooks will help my students improve their writing. They will be able to journal and illustrate their writing using these notebooks.

My students are specials because they are hard workers.

They want to improve their reading, so by funding my project you will help them reach their goal. I work with twenty-five amazing students who come to school eager to learn. Help me fund my project to expand their learning.
