The More You Read, The More Things You Know... Dr. Suess

My students need BOOKS! We would love to get a classroom set for us to read together and other books to encourage math and grammar skills.

My Students

It is amazing what a story can teach you and where it can take you! A story about a kangaroo makes fractions entertaining! I want to provide my students with these kinds of books.

I teach a group of fun 4th grade students.

They are enthusiastic and excited when we can learn about things in a new way. They come from all walks of life and could all use these books to help reinforce the skills they are learning in a meaningful way. They are creative and I love to see how their imaginations run wild when they are reading a good book.

My Project

Your donation will allow each student to hold a novel in their hands instead of sharing with a partner. They enjoy reading new books and sharing what they learn, but they do not enjoy sharing books. It will also provide a wonderful book series that takes math concepts and makes them more vivid and real for the students and grammar stories that focus on a skill with rhyming text fun helpful examples.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know.

The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” - Dr. Seuss Please help provide my students with books that will take them places!
