Mysteries, Thrillers, and Argumentative Games, Oh My!

Help me give my students mysteries, thrillers, and investigative games to help build their analytical skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Decker's classroom raised $381

My Project

Our class is focused on solving mysteries, analyzing evidence, and synthesizing materials to solve the crime, figure out the problem, and create an alternative solution.

Help me give my students books and activities and games to help them practice their analytical skills.

For 20 minutes each day, my students get to take a breath, take a break, and read a book. Many of them had never finished a book, let alone books of their choosing. Books they were truly able to get lost in and enjoy for the sake of reading. There are no assignments, no expectations, no paper, and no study guides; they just read.

With your donations, they will become professional crime and problem solvers!
