Hello! I'm a fifth grade teacher in a Title I school in Vacaville, California. This year, my classroom has been piloting the "Being a Writer" program that combines writing instruction with social-emotional learning to help students develop their skills and confidence. The idea of creating simple books for our classroom library has been a big motivation for them, and now I would like to take this further by helping them publish a "real" classroom book (Studentreasures Website).
The cost of the books is $20 each, so the amount needed is $600 ($560 for books, and $40 for shipping and supplies.) We have received $200 from parents and others outside of this Website, so the goal is down to $400! This would mean a lot to my students, most of whom are in lower income groups and have very few books at home. They have told me that they see themselves as authors now. Actually having a book that they wrote and can share with their families will help encourage them as writers and learners! I would like to distribute the books during an end of year "Author's Night." Any amount of help is appreciated as it will help me lower the price of the books for students to purchase.
They are working on both fiction and non-fiction. Here is a non-fiction report from one of my students:
Here is an example of the illustrations they are working on:
Here is a picture of the students sharing their writing in small groups:
