Third Graders Are Ready For Reading!

Help me give my students supplies to capture our most important learning and books to keep them engaged and grow their literacy skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chmielowiec's classroom raised $471

This project is fully funded

My Students

We are third graders in Seattle, representing more than 10 languages and nationalities! About half of our students are learning English as a new language. We like to greet each other in the morning using messages in different languages.

We love to read, write, and grow together!

Our favorite activities include morning class meetings, reading with a partner, playing together at recess, and drawing illustrations for our writing.

Third grade is a crucial year for learning and development! We need your support to make the most of this time!

My Project

We are gearing up for another powerful year of learning! We will use the chart paper and markers to represent our learning and share it with others. Teachers will use the chart paper to make reference posters for students to use while they work in order to represent complex new ideas.

We will use the books to improve our classroom library!

Having popular, high-quality books for students to choose from within the classroom keeps them excited about reading and willing to challenge themselves to grow and develops their skills. Laying a strong foundation in chapter books in third grade is a great way to ensure students will have what they need in upper grades, middle school, and beyond!
