Letting Our Imaginations Be the Guide!

My students need 23 books to encourage their Reading and Comprehension. These include books by Beverly Cleary, Kevin Henkes, Roald Dahl and others. The books will be used to meet the needs of all of my students who are very diverse in reading capabilities.

Mrs. O.
Grades 3-5

My third grade students yearn to read and thrive to learn! Why not give them the opportunity to choose from a great selection of books that wouldn't otherwise be available for them.

With a very slim classroom library that consists mainly of Boxcar Children, my students are unable to reach their dreams through traveling through various fiction, and nonfiction books.

We need a classroom library that will encourage students to sit down and read, by having a larger selection of eye catching books.

Your help will ensure that my students will get to read great novels and eye-popping stories that would otherwise not be readily available to them.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
