Help My Students Read Unwind

Help me give my students the chance to read Unwind again next year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Knecht's classroom raised $319

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love how much my students love the book Unwind. They all really enjoy being able to have a book to open and flip the pages. It's so much better than a pdf online.

The students get sick of doing all their work on computers.

Any chance I have to bring back paper and actual books, I love getting this chance. This book opens up so many journal activities and discussion questions. It's really fun to see all the different student opinions on a broad range of topics.

My books are falling apart for this story. I love reading in an actual book and not a pdf online. I think it is important.

It's truly fun to watch them think about higher topic subjects and really get into the critical thinking aspect!
