We Read to Our Families

Help me give my students producible leveled readers to bring home and share with their families.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finocchiaro's classroom raised $181

This project is fully funded

My Project

I teach first grade students at a Title I school in Florida, where one hundred percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn!

Learning how to read and having very little variety in good books to read at home is not a good combination.

I am requesting the paper, stapler, staples, tape, binder clips, and other materials that will allow me to print and put together leveled readers for the students to bring home to their families. This opportunity will allow them to read on their independent reading level. Please help me give this opportunity to my students.
