My Project

Please help me get a variety of read-aloud books for our class to enjoy together. I picked out some great ones that we can do neat writing activities with! Finding ways to incorporate neat writing or craft activities with books has really helped bring more interest into reading for my students. We also have bookmarks and Sharpies on our project to go with our books. I like to have students write their short stories/assignments and then rewrite them in Sharpie. This helps them learn how to edit/ revise their papers without the dread of it because who doesn't love writing with markers?

By supporting this project, you will be assisting me in building an amazing class library that will encourage my students to "ready, set, read!"
