New Materials for Engaged Readers

Help me give my students supplies for a new motivating and engaging reading program!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Chiarella's classroom raised $494

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are eager to learn and work hard. Many of them come from low income households where they don't get the same opportunities as other students in the bay area.

In 5th grade, reading is hard, but when students lack foundational reading skills the curriculum can feel insurmountable.

This project will give me the tools to create a motivational and engaging reading program for my 5th graders.

These books, rewards and classroom materials will give my students the opportunity to read engaging content and I can motivate the students with prizes to celebrate their accomplishments. I want my students to feel good about themselves and enjoy reading and this project will give us the tools to make it more fun.
