Student Readers as Thinkers and Creators!

Help me give my students the tools they need to annotate text and create original work with markers, Sharpies, and highlighters.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Panth's classroom raised $160

My Project

Our students are engaged in their award-winning, culturally-responsive novels! Now, we need more supplies to keep them thinking on paper—we want them to be creators of their own annotations, anchor charts, and mind maps!

We greatly appreciate the funding that has allowed us to add high quality texts (in particular, The Crossover by Kwame Alexander) into our first semester.

To fully engage with texts, we go through a great number of basic supplies. Additionally, many of our below-grade-level readers and English learners need to create and refer to visuals as they solidify new learning. These tools will allow them to do that!
