My Project

Hello! My fourth-grade students have been working diligently towards meeting their reading goals. This school year, we challenged the students to read 200,000 words. To earn words, they must pass a reading quiz on their book choice. Once passed, the words are added to their overall total.

Several students have already met their goals!

I am so proud of them. So, naturally, we are pushing them even harder. These kiddos have a new goal. The goal is to read one million words!

I am pleased to share with you all that I already have students who have met this new goal. They deserve special recognition.

The items in this project will be utilized to recognize the students who met the above goals. I plan to put together a gift bag including some additional gifts I plan to purchase on my own. I am requesting your help with these few items. My students deserve the praise and we appreciate you joining us in recognizing their hard work and determination.
