The Hunger Games

Help me give my students books to add to my collection for the whole class to read The Hunger Games. Candy will be used as rewards for reading and other classroom behaviors.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Minderman's classroom raised $334

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love my 6th graders, but I do not have enough books to cover the reading of The Hunger Games. We have copies on the Chromebooks, but my students need books to follow along. The candy is a weekly motivator for AP kids and a daily motivator for non AP kids.

Students at my middle school come from a diverse background and are the sweetest, but do not come to school with needed school supplies such as pencils.

Thank you for any assistance! Please reach out if needed.
