My Project

My students are developing a love of reading in our third grade classroom. Most of my students do not have their own books to read. The "Lemonade War" is a part of our reading curriculum, but we only get to read a few chapters, so this leaves the students wondering, "What happens next?"

Your generous donation will put books in my students' hands!

They will be able to find out what happens next by being able to read on their own, both in school and at home.

The headphones will help block out unnecessary noise so my students can concentrate on their learning.

We also have a cactus classroom theme, so all of my students have "Sharp Points!" I like to reward my students will small tokens for their success.
