Folders for Novel Unit

Help me give my students Folders for our Charlie and the Chocolate Factory novel unit!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mendez's classroom raised $198

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

We need the three prong folders to keep all the materials for our novel unit in one place. The students will be reading both at home and at school. Therefore, we need the folders so kids can keep their materials together.

We urgently need these folders, as we ran out of our current supply for this school year.

We will be reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Our kids loved reading this novel in the past, and we want to ensure we keep that love of reading alive.
