Let’s Make Reading Fun!

Help me give my students opportunities to practice their basic reading skills. It takes about 200 opportunities to practice a skill before it becomes automatic so why not make those opportunities fun and engaging!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I’m excited to share a special project I’ve created that will foster confidence and a love of reading in my third grade students .

I’m seeking funding for a collection of interactive reading games that make learning fun while targeting key literacy areas like phonics and fluency.

These tools will offer my students engaging, hands-on opportunities to practice and improve their reading in ways that support different learning styles and needs.

Please consider donating to support my students who are some of the most loving, fun, creative, silly, kind, and grateful humans I have had the pleasure of teaching.
