4th Graders Love To Read, Pt. 2

Help me give my students a new rotating bookshelf for our reading corner.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gaiter's classroom raised $203

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I teach a wonderful group of fourth-grade students who are curious and love to learn. One of the most visited spaces in our classroom is our reading corner, where over the years I have been able to amass a great collection of fiction and non-fiction books. However, I am running into a little problem... we have more books than space to house them!

We need a new bookshelf!

The resource requested in this project will provide additional storage for the books in our classroom library. In addition, because it is a tower design, it will save space in our library, which will allow for more flexible seating to become a part of the reading corner.

Thank you for your consideration!
