Help me give my students opportunity to grow their literacy skills through books.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Killion's classroom raised $577

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.

My Project

My project is full of books that will help a diverse group of pre-k students in a Title 1 school located in Albertville, AL. The wide range of themed learning opportunities will allow my students to gain a foundation for learning in a hands-on, cross-curricular experience. These books will help my students grow their vocabulary while making meaningful connections during not only daily read-aloud but in all areas of our school day. All books purchased for the classroom will help to promote a positive learning environment for my students. Thank you for considering this project!
