Running Readers

Help me give my students these great books to grow as readers into closing the reading gap.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Oza's classroom raised $156

My Students

I have 32 outstanding students that come to school every single day, all ready to learn. Due to covid, there is a vast learning gap that I would like to work on to have my students rise from the lack of resources and knowledge they have been missing.

My students are unique and have so much to offer with the proper guidance and opportunity to rise from the academic gap created by covid.

I would like to have materials and books for my students ready to dive into learning. Lack of resources makes things even more difficult for children of low-income communities.

My Project

The first and foremost is to give all students a chance to read books on their reading level and then grow gradually. The books and pencil grip that I am requesting for my students will help them with their reading and writing without struggling to form their letters due to motor skills. Children will be able to use these items at home and school to perform consistently. I want them to grow their love for reading and writing with the proper tools and guidance.
