FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jones's classroom raised $154

This project is fully funded

I teach sixth grade in an urban environment. Our class is nearly half English New Language Learners.

What a surprise it was one day when a child with developmental disabilities asked to read jokes to the class! Another child quickly agreed to be the "fall guy" and both set off to deliver punch lines to an eager group of peers. Soon, others were searching the bookshelves for joke books and volunteering to audition for the class! What a great way to practice reading and speaking skills.

My students and I are hoping to acquire a small library of joke books so that they may practice their version of being a "stand-up comedian" in the classroom. Our few joke books are tattered and won't withstand much more usage.

Generous donors like you can help develop better readers, better speakers and potential comedians in the Indianapolis community. Please consider funding out project. We would be ever so grateful!
