Project Funded!!!!

Our project was funded! Thank you so much for all of you who donated towards our project of building a leveled library! It means so much to me that you share a passion for reading. These materials will reach all students and hopefully create some life long readers! I am so appreciative of your support. I hope to continue to build and establish a classroom library that inspires children to read. "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go." Dr. Seuss

Help Support Our Classroom

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Over the weekend I posted a project to the Donors Choose website. The project is called Fantastic Fourth Graders Need a Leveled Library. The project consists of a variety of books (fiction and nonfiction) in a range of levels. Our classroom library needs more fiction and non fiction texts in a variety of levels to support our reading and writing program. 

Here is the link to my project on Donors Choose 

Fantastic Fourth Graders Need a Leveled Library!

Check out my project and the books requested. Any donation in the next 7 days (until April 20th) will be matched dollar for dollar by Donors Choose. Use the promo code SPARK to double your donation (up to $100). 

You may remember that I had a project funded in August that brought Scholastic News and Time For Kids into our classroom for the school year. The students LOVE the magazines and really enjoy reading about current events. I can't begin to tell you how excited they get when a new book order comes in and I can add more books to our library. Students are excited about reading and love having choices! These books are books that students have requested or shown interest in. I try my hardest to provide the students with any book they are interested in. 

Thank you for considering a donation to our project. I appreciate all your support this school year!

PARCC Testing

Our schedule for PARCC testing is as follows...

• March 18th 
• March 19th
• March 20th
• March 31st
• April 1st

These tests are nothing students should be worried about. We ask that they try their best and give 100%. If your child seems nervous about these tests please remind them to just try their best! A good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast is the best way to prepare for these tests.
