A Blast From The Past!

My students need reading materials to help us learn more about historical figures from the past.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nicholl's classroom raised $265

This project is fully funded

My Students

I am beyond thrilled to have a very inquisitive, energetic group of learners this year! They love hands-on activities, games, and the use of technology in the classroom. Despite living in a low-income area, my students show up each day with such drive and determination.

My students deserve to have the best opportunities for success available to them.

I believe that, with your help, we can continue to foster their love of learning, feed their ambition, and help them to grow academically.

My Project

By donating to this project, you are offering my students the opportunity to expand their reading across non-fiction and fiction genres.

Research has shown that students who are in classrooms with well-stocked libraries read more!

It is my goal to build a high-quality library this year to engage my students in reading. My students have become overly interested in historical events and are flying through these books. We do not have history in our school and this is a wonderful way for them to learn around it.

By helping me build this library you are giving my students the opportunity to travel to far-away places, slay dragons, fall in love with characters who have similar experiences, or even save the world from aliens. They'll even learn about major historical events and how science has changed the world over time.
