My students need class sets of the books Project Mulberry and Charlie's Raven to reach our one-to-one goal for our STEM literature program.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Van Sickle's classroom raised $453

Celebrating 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 Students
Our students are scientists. Our students are mathematicians. Our students are readers and authors. Our students are explorers. Our students make discoveries each and every day.
Books, and the connections made by readers, are what allows us to be scientists, mathematicians, authors, explorers, and more!
Reading, either fiction or non-fiction, allows our students to become all of these things!
It is our mission to provide our students with a challenging and inquiry-based STEM curriculum to maximize individual potential and ensure that our students succeed in a globally community.
Our goal is to expose students to many learning opportunities that will prepare them for the future, all while bringing to the forefront ideas and concepts that they may not have considered before.
Our school is a place filled with family. Not only do we serve and have families that entrust us with their children, we have our own family. This family includes our classroom families, our school community family, and our family of staff. We consider each day as an opportunity to learn something new and support of family members in their path to success.
My Project
My sixty students are in need of literature books that tie in with our STEM projects in electricity/magnetism, human/plant/animal adaptations, Earth processes, forces and motion, and scientific inquiry. These books will allow my students to connect the fiction world to events that occur in real life and are related to all academic areas. The requested resources will add to our current count of books, which will allow us to have a one-to-two reading ratio for ALL of our literature studies.
My students need the necessary resources to relate literature to the world around them.
We need class sets of the books Project Mulberry and Charlie's Raven. As active and engaged readers, my students will compare characters' attributes and actions to real-life people, explore events that occur that parallel life events, and analyze authors' craft and purpose.
