Make a donation Mrs. Witkowski can use on her next classroom project.
For this project, I am requesting a class set of Out Of My Mind. This is a book about a fifth-grade student who has many physical and learning disabilities and her journey through the school year. One area our students struggle with is reading comprehension strategies. Having a classroom set will give us the opportunity to teach reading strategies while the students have a hands-on copy of recent literature.
With this type of literature my students will learn acceptance of others as well as many reading skills.
Each student having their own copy of the book will allow them to go back and reread areas for deeper understanding. This will benefit our visual as well as auditory learners.
