This project will help fund books for my classroom library. I teach at a Title I school where more than 80% of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch, and unfortunately they don't always have access to reading materials outside of school. I would like to provide my students with a variety of books to fuel their little minds. My students absolutely love reading and having a classroom library would mean the world to them. I am a 4th grade reading teacher, so reading aloud is a huge part of my instruction. I have been building our classroom library little by little, but I need your help to grow our collection of books. Your donations will help to foster my students’ love for reading and help them become amazing readers. Thank you in advance for you help!
