Mrs. J. Windsor Elementary School
Columbia, SC Grades 3-5

I teach in a high-poverty school in an urban setting. I teach advanced placement third graders.

I teach students who love to read, but don't have access to books! They will read anything I give them because they are so hungry for knowledge.

I would like to provide my students with access to several different types of reading materials. I will allow the students to choose which title to read for our weekly reading curriculum. We will form book clubs within our room. I am requesting 5 copies of 26 different children's novels. These novels cover various topics and reading levels, so I can meet the needs and interests of every child in my classroom.

You will make it possible for my students to expand their minds through your donation!
