Helping kids help kids

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bollaert's classroom raised $292

This project is fully funded

I am currently teaching two double period freshman English classes of low level mainstream and special education students. As part of our curriculum, and to help boost self-esteem, our students will be participating in a cross-age tutoring program where our freshman will be tutoring and reading to first graders. One of the most exciting activities we have planned is for our students to create their own children's books to read to "their students." We would like a set of 70 blank bound books for our students' amazing works of literature. We believe that these professional looking books will be integral to improving their self-esteem and confidence in their work. These books will also benefit the first grade students that will receive them. I thank you in advance for your contribution, not only on behalf of our freshman English class, but also the first grade class that our students will be working with.
