40 Book Challenge

Help me give my students books for our classroom to cultivate a life-long love for reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Garcia's classroom raised $511

This project is fully funded

My Project

Every year I challenge my 3rd graders to read 40 books. Over the past 6 years this has helped cultivate a love for reading amongst my students. Every year I take note of the books that most grab the attention of my students. This year "Wings of Fire" has been a huge hit, so I want to give my students access to these books. I also have struggled to have a variety of poetry for my students to read, so this year I'd like to add more options. Thank you for your support!
