Read, Write, Shine: Building a Literacy-Rich Preschool Classroom

Help me give my students a start to the school year strong by creating an engaging and inviting reading and writing environment for our preschoolers!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Scott-Ross's classroom raised $536

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our preschoolers are energetic, imaginative, and eager to learn! Many are entering a classroom for the very first time, and we want their first experience with school to be full of joy, discovery, and a love for reading and writing. Our school serves a diverse community including English Language learners and students from low-income households. Your support will help level the playing field for all of them.

We are building a classroom that encourages early literacy through reading and writing daily.

With your help, we hope to create cozy, hands on space that nurture curiosity, independence, and confidence in our young learners.

The materials I am requesting

-Age appropriate books

-Floor cushions

-Primary Journals

-Large Magnetic board

These resources will support both independent and guided activities where students explore letters, sounds, stories, and their own words in a print-rich environment.
