My Project

My students are needing help learning to read. Listening to good models of readers helps students be able to be more fluent themselves. They get bored quickly and great narration can model what readers should sound like. I want my students to learn to read this year. In order to achieve my goal, I need some iPads and cases to practice reading books that would interest them.

They love to learn, but they need high interest literature to keep them motivated and interested.

We need iPads and cases to be able to use this in our classroom. This would give students more practice with the books and more exposure to classic literature at home. Some students do not speak English as their first language. More modeling is needed for these students to be successful.

Many of my students are full of energy. This brings a huge challenge in teaching them. Help make learning better in our classroom! We would love some cardstock to use for materials and batteries to go in our small reading books. Please help us with some incentives for good behavior.

I try to increase their motivation in reading by making learning fun. With creative ideas and fun activities, students begin to make connections between my classroom and real life. The curriculum continues to get harder, and students must have many opportunities for fun. Many materials that students currently use are boring. Help make a classroom a more fun place to be.
