Great Read Alouds and Letter Writing

Help me give my students great read aloud books as well as writing practice books to help learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Romaniello's classroom raised $880

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are a wonderful and exciting group of boys and girls in an ICT (integrated collaborative teaching) classroom. This means that forty percent of my students are in special education, and the rest are in general education.

We are a Title I school and work hard to ensure that everyone learns and succeeds.

I want them to have everything they need to make their school year exciting, fun, productive, and successful throughout the entire year.

My Project

My kindergarten students are just learning to read and write. These amazing read alouds will give my students a variety of books to listen to and learn with. It will help build their listening skills as well as comprehension skills. They will be able to talk about these amazing books with their classmates through book discussions. The letter and number writing books will help them get the much-needed practice they need to build their writing skills. These books are great because they are dry erase and can be used over and over again throughout the school year.

Please help my little ones receive the letter and number writing books as well as the amazing read alouds they need to be successful this school year.
