Eager Readers and Writers Need a Challenge!

Funded Feb 14, 2012

My students have thoroughly enjoyed using the donated books you have provided them.My students are reading more than they ever have, constantly asking to switch out the books. They have completed numerous project based book reports using their new chapter books, such as creating a meet and greet poster to meet the author / characters of the book they just finished and creating new book jackets for their books.

The students enjoyed creating their final project, their own version of the chapter book, Freckle Juice. Students were able to work on their summarizing, comprehension, and writing skills while completing this project. This project also allowed students to apply the artistic skills as well, as they illustrated the book. As I posted the books on the writing wall, I could see the joy in their eyes of the accomplishment they had just completed and the eagerness to show them off to their classmates and parents during the end of the year open house.

Thank you for all your generosity. It is because of you that my students have had more opportunities to read great literature and become authors themselves.”

With gratitude,
