HUE FOR A VIEW

Help me give my students the ability to see inside of my notebook and read-aloud books no matter their location in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rakes's classroom raised $166

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach an amazing group of 4th graders who are loving, courageous, and full of energy. Many of my students come to School having faced hard circumstances. I strive to make each day the very best I can while they are in my classroom.

My Project

My 4th-grade class loves to participate in the daily picture book challenge. We do not currently have a way to project our books onto the screen for everyone in the classroom to see.

A hue would help my read-aloud be accessible to all children no matter their location in the room.

We would love to bring you along on this picture day challenge with our class. I would love it if you would consider making a donation to help my classroom become a class full of more fluent and lifelong readers.
