Ms. Ryan PS 321 William Penn - Upper School
Brooklyn, NY Grades 3-5

I have 28 students who LOVE reading! I teach 28 wonderful fourth grade students who are always looking for new and exciting books to read. I wish I had the ultimate library that fit every learner.

My current library is just okay. It definitely lacks books. I am always looking for ways to beef it up. Right now I am in need of graphic novels and good picture books.

I am requesting the latest graphic novels and a few of my favorite Caldecott books. I'm also requesting a shelf to place the books on. My class truly loves reading and I love them. So I am hoping that DonorsChoose can help me help them.

I'd be forever grateful to you all. My kids learn best through literature. I'd like to give them the opportunity that they desire. Thanks in advance DonorsChoose!
