My Students

My kindergarten students are excited to learn, and books are a huge part of that. We have many books, but they aren't organized so my kids can find the book they want to look at.

I have 44 kindergarten students who are hungry for knowledge.

Many of these kids come from low income families, and many of them do not have books at home to explore. In my classroom, I have a large number of books, but the kids can't find the books they are looking for. I need a way to organize my books so they can locate the book they want.

My Project

I am requesting book organizers to help my students get the most out of their school day. I only get my students for 3 hours a day, so we have no time to waste. I want my students to be able to quickly find a book they want, and also be able to put the book back when finished.

I want my students to love books.

I believe having these resources available will help foster that love in my kids. We have many good books in our room, but it is difficult to find them. Our books are packed close together on a few bookcases, but they all get lost within that large amount of books. If you help us, we can get our books organized and allow my kindergarten kids to find the books they want.
