Mrs. Helmers from Wichita KS is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Learning to Read is an Exciting Adventure!

Help me give my students engaging opportunities to learn to read and write since each student will have individual books to grown their brains in the area of beginning reading and writing skills.

My Project

The books and journals on my wish list will help students engage with reading projects that are supported by written language. I will work with students to help students achieve independence as the books selected offer organization to learning. The book style for learning allows students to reference skills previously learned at their fingertips. My students are in 3rd grade, but learning at a first grade level due to their learning deficits supported by special education programs. I love seeing students eyes light up as they are able to read new words. My students are working hard this year to bridge the gap. I am proud of each student!
