The BEF New Project Match will match your
contribution to this project dollar-for-dollar on the first $500
donated.
This match is supported by the
The Mike Osborne Memorial Award Fund, which
provides funds to literacy-based projects in recognition of the
importance and need for academic excellence and opportunity for all students.
Beaverton Education Foundation has already provided $450 in matching contributions. The campaign has now finished.
I am asking for funds to purchase chapter books for my 6th, 7th, and
8th grade students. I would like my students to have the opportunity
to read a whole class novel. The process of reading a book together
allows me to explicitly teach characterization, plot, theme, and other
aspects of a novel. Plus, it allows for rich discussions and builds
classroom community. I would like to purchase 61 copies of
Peak for the 6th/7th graders, and 65 copies of Lord of
the Flies for the 8th graders. I chose Peak because it
is a high-interest, action packed book which appeals to most readers.
It also addresses cultural and environmental issues as it set in Nepal
and Mt. Everest. I chose Lord of the Flies as it addresses
many themes such as civilization vs. savagery, mob mentality, and loss
of innocence. Both books lend themselves well to supporting the
learning targets for each of the grade levels. These novels will stay
in my classroom library and will be used for years to come! Thank you!
The average cost of each book is $7. With the match from BEF,
your donation is DOUBLED, buying twice as many books!
- $15 = 4 books
- $30 = 8 books
- $45 = 12 books
- $60 = 16 books
- $90 = 24 books
- $120 = 32 books
