FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Abbate's classroom raised $218

My Students

My fourth grade students are terrific boys and girls. They are eager to learn new things everyday. They are respectful and polite and truly enjoy reading.

My fourth graders come from diverse backgrounds and share their cultures with each other.

During ELA time, my students like to read independently as well as in partnerships. They work together beautifully and help each other when necessary. As their teacher, I am proud to see how much they look forward to reading time everyday!

My Project

Some of my students need high interest books on their reading level. They love to read and they need materials to motivate them so they can read independently.

Having these wonderful new books in our classroom library will give my students the opportunity to read for pleasure.

They should be able to choose a book that is entertaining and fun.

Authors like Judy Blume, Matt Christopher, and David Adler write terrific books that I know my fourth graders will love. When I see my students discussing the stories with their classmates and feeling excited about a book, it makes my day!
