Having Fun With Reading

Help me give my students fun and educational games for their morning choices and reading centers. This will give my students who are struggling with social and emotional skills and reading skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Aden's classroom raised $581

My Project

My first graders are so used to electronics and screens that they aren't that excited about learning to read. I want to help them get excited and have as much fun as possible learning how to read. This is a life long skill they will carry throughout their entire lives.

By donating to our project you will help these first-graders always remember that reading is fun and exciting.

With these games my first graders will learn how to work together and on their own on this fun and exciting journey during their guided reading centers.
