My project needs 1 binding system and binding spines.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Weinberg's classroom raised $242

This project is fully funded

I teach in brand new preschool classroom in a magnet elementary school. This program was set up to give the children in my program a jump start on their literacy skills so that they will be prepared for kindergarten. I have forty preschooler that are creating an "All About Me" book. Throughout the year the children will do projects and create stories that will be added to their books. These books will encourage the children to work on their literacy skills and teach them that their words are important. In order for these books to be successful they must look like professional, published books. These "All About Me" books will become a classroom fixture. Seeing our anthologies grow and maintain their integrity will encourage the children that their words and drawings are special. A binding system will allow us to create our professional "All About Me" books. The high quality of the children's completed work will provide the children with the motivation to continue working on their writing skills. It will also become a permanent part of our writing center. This will enable use to create other books and have the binding system for future preschoolers to develop a love for reading and writing. Your help will ensure that my students will develop a lifetime love of writing for years to come.
