My Project

Every day, I have the joy of guiding my young students as they embark on their journey to becoming confident, fluent readers.

To support my students' learning, I am seeking donations for decodable Bob Books to help them practice CVC short vowel words and develop essential reading fluency.

These books are designed specifically for early readers, providing them with the opportunity to apply their phonics skills in an engaging and accessible way.

Additionally, we are in need of noise-canceling headphones to create a focused learning environment. These headphones will be invaluable for students who are sounding out words or practicing sight words, allowing them to concentrate without distraction and build their reading skills with confidence.

Your generosity would make a meaningful impact, empowering my students to grow as readers and discover the joy of books. Any contribution, big or small, brings us closer to providing these essential tools for their success.

Thank you so much for considering our classroom!
