The Joy of Reading

Help me give my students an opportunity to read books that they would love to read as well as create creative projects based on them.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Goda's classroom raised $614

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 students love to read! They especially love Young Adult books, which is why I am incorporating an independent reading unit in my curriculum.

Students come to me with titles of books that they would love to read all of the time!

These include books like "The Book Thief", "Dear Justyce", and "Maze Runner".

For the independent reading unit, students will receive the chance to have a book fair, where they will show a creative project that they have created based on the book of their choice. They will be able to hear about other books as well as share their own book review.

Resources such as construction paper, pencils, scissors, and pens would help tremendously.
