Building a Library, Chapter by Chapter

Help me give my students a variety of chapter book sets in our classroom library.

My Project

My students are a vibrant, curious, and resilient group of learners who come to school eager to discover the world. We are a high-need classroom, and many of my students come from low-income households with limited access to books at home. Despite these economic challenges, their passion for learning is unmatched. I love my students deeply, and because I care about them so much, I want to provide them with the very best resources to help them succeed and feel proud of their learning space.

This project will introduce several new boxed sets of high-interest chapter books to our classroom, alongside a sturdy new bookshelf to house them.

Transitioning into chapter books is a massive milestone for young readers, but they need engaging, complete series to keep their momentum going.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
