Second Graders In Need of Nonfiction Books!

Our second grade class loves learning about the world around them! I would like to provide our class with a wide variety of nonfiction books that will aid in expanding their current knowledge. I have chosen 20 nonfiction books by the well-known author Gail Gibbons. I have chosen books about topics that we learn about in science and social studies. With your generous donation, our class and second graders in my class for years to come will have access to these wonderful books. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this proposal.

Hi! I am a second grade teacher in a low socioeconomic community. Our classroom library needs some nonfiction trade books.

Second graders love learning about the world around them. Nonfiction books aid in expanding on their current knowledge, so I would like to add some nonfiction books to our classroom library.

I would like to expand on our classroom library by adding 20 nonfiction books written by the well-known author Gail Gibbons. My student love reading her books, and I would like to provide them with access these books.

With your generous donation, my current students and students for years to come will be able to enjoy reading these books. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this proposal.
