  • Looking Ahead

    Funded May 9, 2023

    Thank you so much for your incredibly generous donations. I am always so humbled by the willingness of people to help our classroom and the students.

    These items will help my students be successful in class - by providing them with the resources they need to do so. The pens and sticky notes will give them the necessary items for when they forget. This project will also provide some creature comforts and make our classroom a home away from home - which is always the goal! The coloring pages and tissues will provide needed comfort items.

    Again I thank you and I appreciate you!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Decker

  • Mysteries, Thrillers, and Suspense, Oh My!

    Funded Mar 30, 2023

    Every day in class, my students get to choose any book they want to read silently for 15 minutes. Every day, high school students, are quiet and reading. And honestly, it has become my most valued part of our day.

    Your incredible and generous donation has now become a part of our daily reading time. Your donation will add many, high-interest, contemporary novels to our classroom library. Books where students can find narrators just like them, or read about stories completely unlike their own. Both are valuable and necessary.

    Thank you for becoming a part of providing students with choice in their reading and a part of creating lifelong readers.”

  • A Strong and Healthy Classroom

    Funded Oct 16, 2022

    WOW! I am always so overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of not only the people in my life but also complete strangers. This project was a different one for me. I usually focus on projects asking for books because if you know me, you know how important choice reading is to my classroom.

    But it is also important to me that my students see our time together as a safe place, an extension of their home. A place where they can get a snack, a tissue, and charge their phone. A place where they belong.

    And this project did just that. So thank you fo adding some comfort in our classroom and giving my students a safe and healthy environment.”

My goal as an English teacher is to help foster and develop a love of reading and novels. Many of my students have not read a book of their own choosing ever. Students who read contemporary, high interest, and culturally relevant novels will find more enjoyment in the words and connection to themselves. Reading just 20 minutes a day increases vocabulary, reading stamina, and helps on standardized tests. My students and book club members will be so grateful to get their hands on these novels. I have also started a Project Lit book club in my high school and these novels will be used for that purpose too! The goal is to foster a book club with students, teachers, administrators, parents, and community member all sitting around and discussing the same novel.
