Book in a Bag
Funded Nov 22, 2021
Thank you for your generous donation. My students absolutely loved the books they received. They especially liked the fact they were allowed to take the books home to read with parents or older siblings. My students grew so much in Reading because of your generosity.
Sykes Elementary's first grade students send you a huge THANK YOU!!!! You have made a HUGE difference in their lives. Please continue to donate and help students learn and grow. You are the lifeline that many students need to be successful today and for life!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Downs
This classroom project was brought to life by Walton Family Foundation and 4 other donors.

Book in a Bag is a way to help students improve fluency and comprehension. Each student will receive a book in a bag every week. Each bag will contain a book along with activities for vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Students will read the book with an adult and independently then complete the included activities for their books. This project will allow me to meet students needs on their level because the books will be assigned based on each student's individual reading level. The aim is to bring up student profiency in reading.
