Help Mrs. Barnoskie

I can truly see the wheels in my students' brains churning while reading this book! I teach 7th grade Reading and Language Arts (and soon to be Geography) in a high poverty rural town in Missouri. "Three Cups of Tea" is about a man who travels to Pakistan and "climbs many mountains" to help build schools for kids that would not have the opportunity to receive an education otherwise.

Every time we read a book as a class, it seems as though I can only catch the attention of some of the students; there always seems to be those students who really just aren't interested. "Three Cups of Tea" has been a completely different story. It is the first "big" unit we have done that the students have carried over into other subjects--on their own! Our problem is that I only have one copy of the book; this makes it difficult for some students to follow along with the story. I do my best to help those students along, but they really need to book in front of them.

If each student in my classroom could have a copy of the book to follow along,it will greatly affect their comprehension of the story. I could also use the books for students to work in a cooperative learning setting.

Your help will make it possible for my students to learn more about children around the world who are not as fortunate as most Americans. Having copies of the book will aid my students in comprehension of the text, which in turn will spark deeper and more meaningful conversations.
