My Project

My little learners love school and love learning! I am so proud of the progress they have made this year and I would love for them to continue on their learning journey! The times I am requesting will enable them to move forward on their learning journey.

I have many students who are ready to read decodable books and the Starfall readers will give them opportunities to read "just right " text and they will see themselves as readers!

I am requesting an external DVD player because sadly our laptops no longer come with a DVD player and I have several educational DVD's that do an exceptional job helping students learn the alphabet and letter sounds. I am also requesting composition books and dry-erase markers so that they need to be replenished throughout the year!

Please help my little learners see themselves as readers!
