With these funds I will...

• Be able to have more incentives for our innovators to read and meet their goals.
• Be able to take our top ten million word readers to an end of year field trip for working extremely hard.
• Be able to use the money to provide monthly celebrations for students to motivate them to continue their growth mindset.

Why do our innovators deserve this?

Our goal as a school is to provide amazing opportunities for our students to learn and develop skills that they will utilize not only in their schooling life, but life in general.  As the ELA teachers for 5th grade, our goal is to build incentives that will motivate our students to read everyday.  We do not want them to think of this as task but more of building a love of learning through books.  Our innovators read on a daily basis and we monitor their progress through the amount of words they read.  At the end of the year, some of our readers reach up to 7,000,000 words, which is an amazing feat.  We want to reward these efforts for going above and beyond by having them understand how this is something worth celebrating. Also to continue to push their reading life by having a sense of accomplishment from these efforts that they put forth.  We are so proud of our students and there are so many opportunities that they do not get to experience because of economic and social emotional issues that they deal with on a day-to-day basis.  

Not only will this money go to our top readers but it will also directly impact all 135 5th graders on campus on a monthly basis.  Each student has individualized reading goals based their reading levels and these efforts need to be celebrated as well.  We want to build in new celebrations and motivations that our students can look forward to for the hard effort they put in.  Our goal is for the students to realize how reading will be a big part of their lives and having them embrace this journey now will have lasting effects for their future. 

By donating, you are directly impacting our students by rewarding there efforts.  As  teachers, we wish we could do this for every student if we had the funds.  We want to build small rewarding systems so that our students can enjoy their learning and give them new experiences that they truly deserve.
