Project Information

Amount Requested: $ 247.89 Number of Students Affected: 20 (This year/ but ongoing)

Brief Project Description: Please include how this project will impact students; promote creative teaching
and/or classroom experiences. Please also include a brief budget summary listing specific
materials/expenses; make sure they add up to the amount you requested, unless other funding sources are
involved and elaborate if that is the case.

My grant request is for a selection of mentor books to use in the

classroom. As a teacher there are limited resources when it comes to
obtaining books and most of the times it is at my own expense. I would like
to purchase these books listed to add to my collection of mentor books in
the classroom. These books are great to use for multiple reading strategies
and skills. This means that the books from this grant would be used for
years to come. Part of reading is through the rich texts that are used in a
reader's workshop approach.
