The Lion, The Cook, And The Classroom Full Of Books
Hooray! This project is fully funded
I teach at a brand new high school in urban Pennsylvania serving a high-need community. My ninth grade English students are making great gains in reading levels.
This year I instituted my classroom library and encouraged my students to read 30 minutes a day. After reading 17 books at over 6500 pages, one student told me she had "never really read before."
Because our school will take in an incoming Freshman class more than 1.5 times bigger than our current class, we need to expand our resources. This year, my classroom library has been a smashing success but it needs more books so that all my future students can read.
Your help will provide a chance for all my students to experience the same dramatic change as my student who "never really read before."
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
