We Love Reading and Writing!

Help me give my students snacks, sensory toys and writing resources to build their love of reading and writing.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Miller's classroom raised $705

This project is fully funded

My Project

There are over 25 languages spoken at my school. Using books such as "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Sleigh" and "The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes" will help my students build their English vocabulary skills as they listen to the book being read to them. They will also be able to use these pictures books to create their own writing projects. Fun pencils and pencil toppers will excite the students for writing projects. The "Four Square" writing books will help teachers create fun lessons and teach students the beginning process for writing- getting their thoughts organized on paper.

The picture books and teacher idea books will help teachers craft and create fun and engaging reading and writing lessons for our students.

The students will enjoy using picture books to inspire their writing. The teachers will have the knowledge and skills they need to become better reading and writing teachers with my support.
