We Need Reading Motivation!

Help me give my students new books that will motivate them to read.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Alegria's classroom raised $461

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

First graders are not easily amused. It is really hard to get first graders excited about reading. They like everything fast, new, and exciting. These great new titles will give my students new reading material and exciting new adventures. They are going to love those new Dog Man story books. My hope is that these fun new books can help motivate my students to reach their Accelerated Reading Goals.

First grade will love reading books and receiving prizes for all their hard work.

All this reading practice will help my students to be ready for second grade.
