My Project

I am a K-6 health & physical education teacher at a large rural elementary school in Pennsylvania. I’m part of the team that comes up with ideas for Read Across America Week for our entire building.

I am requesting a variety of books to use as prizes for students & classrooms participating in the week’s activity.

Students receive a ticket for participating in the 15 minute Drop Everything & Read time each day to put into a book raffle. Classrooms do a door decorating contest to win a book set. This year we would like to partner with PBIS and do a Bingo for Books activity for students.

All these books would be great prizes for any of these activities & will help students love to read!
