Help me give my students a dictionary and thesaurus for help in writing. We want 22 of each so that every student will have their own copy instead of having to wait for someone else to finish.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. G.'s classroom raised $285
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Students
My students fit into two categories: military families or economically disadvantaged. My students deal with so many issues today. Out of 22 students, 11 students are connected to the military, some are separated from parents due to unaccompanied tours and 1/3 are economically disadvantaged.
This year we have truly embraced project based learning in the classroom.
Their faces light up and the energy changes when it is time to work on our projects. It's as though they come alive. They talk, laugh, and share ideas. I have noticed a true engagement in the classroom this year. Even the most shy and quiet students contribute during projects.
Our classroom is a community, and when you walk in you see children helping each other to achieve a goal. We celebrate all successes no matter how small. My students have a very keen sense of the emotional needs of each other.
My Project
Dictionaries and thesaurus's help student's to make better word choice when writing. Having their own means that they will have a great resource with them at all times. It also means that if needed they may take it home.
Help make their writing come alive with vivid word choice.
A thesaurus gives students an opportunity to use new words to describe settings, characters, or stories more interesting.
Why paperbacks you may ask instead of digital items? Students need to still understand how to look up words while in class if there were to be no devices available such as on a test.
Donors would truly help this class become better writing.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
