Mrs. Joan W. Wheeler from Port Arthur TX is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Replacement Time Please We Have Eager Reader's On Board !

Help me give my students a class set of dictionaries. Dictionaries are useful in the classroom in helping students develop critical thinking skills. Not all students have access to the internet. Dictionaries helps to provide insight to words.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Reading and understanding what you read is the cornerstone for learning and success in the future. In 2018 I ask for a class set of Merriam Webster Intermediate Dictionaries. My students have used the dictionaries so much that the books are coming apart. I'm asking for another set of dictionaries for the classes.

I asked for a set of novels "Forged by Fire" written by Sharon Draper, and to say my students couldn't get enough of that book would be an understatement.

The wear and tear has taken it's toll on the class set. I would like to replace at least 10 books.

I truly believe that getting students "hooked on books" early in their lives is critical in their life's journey. Please help me to help my student on their life's journey by donating to this project.

Thank you

Mrs. Joan W. Wheeler
