This teacher needs your help!

Voracious Vocabularies

My students need vocabulary games to play at school and reading activities to complete at home with their families to improve their vocabularies.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sykes's classroom raised $177

This project is fully funded

My Students

Superb. Phenomenal. Amazing. My students need to expand their vocabularies to include these words!

My 2nd grade students attend a suburban public school North Carolina with a 30% free and reduced price lunch rate.

I would love to see my students enriching their vocabularies at home and at school. Some of my students don't have books at home to help them explore on their own.

My Project

I am requesting a set of School-to-Home activities to build the vocabularies and comprehension skills of my students with their most important teachers - their parents. I am also requesting a set of vocabulary folder games for students to use throughout the school day.

Your donation to help us get these School-to-Home activities and vocabulary folder games will enrich the vocabulary and comprehension of my students and help arm them with literacy skills they need to be successful in the future!
