This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Badea from Flushing, NY is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

HMH Kindergarten Books

Help me give my students the books we are lacking in our libraries that are used in our reading curriculum.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Badea's classroom raised $292

This project is fully funded

My Project

My district has implemented the HMH curriculum for reading and writing. Although HMH has many wonderful features and components, not all of the books that we need are physically available to us. Many of the books are available only in digital form and can only be presented on a Smartboard.

A physical copy of these books will help my students engage with the text.

It is hard to keep kindergarteners' attention while reading from a smartboard. Having a physical copy of the book will enhance my teaching and my students learning. I feel that since children spend much of their time using digital devices outside of school, it is highly important for them to have rich experiences with physical books while in school.
