We Love to Read and Make Books!

My Students

Do you like to read books? Do you like to make your own books? Well my kindergarten students sure do!

I teach Kindergarten at a fabulous public school located in NC.

My school is "home away from home" for students in grades PK-3. My Kindergarten students are the best! They are eager, curious, and full of life! They are the reason I am here, to try to get help for my precious students. Every single day is a new adventure for sure, and I thoroughly love my job!

My Project

My project is for leveled books that will help my students increase their reading ability. I would love to have them so they could take them home to read with their families. I am also asking for cardstock and binder coils so my students can make books to take and share with their families.

Although my students are from various backgrounds every single one of them has the drive to learn how to read.

I want to get these books into my student's hands so they can apply the reading skills we are learning at school when they read at home each night. These leveled books will help boost not only their reading skills, but their confidence level too.

My students would love to have these full color books and card stock and binder coils to read and write and share their learning with others. By funding this project, you will help me help my students be the best readers and writers they can be.
