Light up Literacy & Learning with Batteries for Power Pens

Help me give my students the ability to use electronic reading tools through the purchase of Allmax AAA batteries to build their comprehension and enjoyment of learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Breland's classroom raised $272

My Project

At our Title I school, we are so excited to use the Power Pens and the literacy cards that we were given. However, the pens do not come with the required triple-A batteries (from Allmax) that are needed to make the pens operational. With the Allmax long-life batteries we are requesting, our inquisitive students will have the opportunity to read together and quiz one another on grade-level literacy passages from a variety of genres. Our students love it when reading is a social event and they can work together to build understanding. We appreciate your consideration and support in making our project come to life!
