Reading Is Our World

My students need earbuds for the computer and a variety of reading materials on their level and interest.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pettice's classroom raised $166

This project is fully funded

My Students

The students in my classroom are my first priority, no matter what happens in the classroom or around the school, my students come first. My students come from many backgrounds, speak other languages in their homes, and come from poverty ridden areas.

I want my students to have the best education, I want them to know that know matter what life hands them, they can overcome those struggles and rise above them.

I want my students to have the best hands on enrichment to enhance their learning.

My Project

The earbuds that are being requested will be used to help students on their reading and math skills using a computer-based program. I am requesting a variety of reading materials for my students. The non-fiction books will allow students to practice their skills using main idea and supporting details. Other books that are being requested are fiction stories that will allow students to practice a variety of comprehension skills. These different genre of books will allow students to practice their reading at their independent levels.

I want to allow my students to practice the skills that they are being taught.

The requested books will allow them to practice independently with books that are of their level and interest. The students will be able to select the books for independent reading and to take home to practice their reading.
