The Magic of Reading Books
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Melendez's classroom raised $778
This project is fully funded
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 Project
My Kindergarten class is full of eager, curious, and enthusiastic learners. With Kindergarten being an early literacy grade, exposure to vocabulary and sight words are extremely important. Technology has made an important impact on students in the classroom, and has created less of a sense for hand-held reading books. Reading is an important skill that is carried beyond Kindergarten.
Expanding our vocabulary with hard cover books, relevant to students cultures and traditions, with a wide range of reading levels and flexible seating around our library will help students maintain that connection to library books.
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community
and 3 other donors.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
You donate directly to the teacher or project you care about and see where every dollar you give goes.
