Ms.Launey's Donors Choose Project

I wanted to send a BIG thank you to the following donors, who made a donation on my DonorsChoose.org page. We have raised enough money to buy our BATTLE OF THE BOOKS ammunition (two of each of the Sunshine State Readers Books). Because of your generosity, we will be able to start reading our books as soon as they are delivered. I will be sure to post pictures on this site.

P.S. If you are in Mrs. Lopez's Class, you can still donate! Her class still needs to raise some more money to meet their goal. If you are in Ms.Launey's class and didn't get a chance to donate, don't feel left out! We will be having a new donation project up in about a month or so.

Help us Battle with Books!

Parents and friends, we need your help. There are 15 Sunshine State Reader Books which have to be read and mastered by our 4th grade team. We are going to compete against other teams in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades in a high stakes reading battle called "The Battle of the Books". This is a positive, highly motivating reading event that takes place all year. Chets Creek started this last year, and the students were "on fire" with reading these highly motivating, award-winning books. We are reading the battle book, The Thing About Georgie, as a class right now. But the students are eager to check out more battle books from our classroom libraries so that they may read them independently. However, we only have a few of these important books! :>(
How can you help? That is the easy part. Follow the links below to either Ms.Launey's or Ms.Lopez's Donor's Choose Website. There you will be able to donate to our cause (2 sets of the Battle Books per class). Once our proposal goal has been met, the books will be boxed up and sent directly to us so that we may begin preparing for battle. You will also receive a tax deduction form from Donor's Choose. Help us go to battle with the proper ammunition....BOOKS!
