My Project

I teach at a low income school where several of these students do not have books at home. As we have been growing with our learning this year several of these students have made tremendous growth and are ready to dive deeper into their reading. With this class set of books we would be able to start a book club and closely read and apply strategies that have been learned all year. These students have persevered a lot this school year and have a love for learning. With your support their love for reading may continue to grow as they read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
