My Project

Dear Donors,

We are seeking texts assigned to our curriculum in a school with a high percentage of children eating free lunch.

We use these texts to notice, wonder, build knowledge of text features as well as build other critical skills. Art in these books is rich and also observed. It is used to build connections. We learn to figure out the meaning of new words and dig deeper into the text to make connections to real life. Next, we are studying the American West. Join us in our studies!

Ms. Wishy PS 159 Isaac Pitkin Grades 3-5
