My Project

Teaching students the love of reading is challenging. However, showing them the love of reading is why I became a teacher. This year I was given the opportunity to teach 6th grade ELA. I have enjoyed my new position but our whole class novels are falling apart which I tried repair with little success.

Please help me give all students the opportunity to read a new book.

My students have never complained but I know these books will not last one more year.

In a digital world give me the chance to show students what a new book can do a computer is not able to fulfill.

Ms. Folkerth will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by May 7.

Ms. Folkerth Mills Lawn Elementary School Grades 6-8
