A Book Can Change A Life đź“š

My students need a larger more exciting classroom library that will enhance their already immense love for reading and learning

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Breit's classroom raised $540

This project is fully funded

My Students

The students I teach, “my children” come from various backgrounds, socio economic homes, varying learning abilities but all have one thing in common...they LOVE to come to school (to our classroom family) and learn. They love to be a part of this “family”. These students have many different working abilities. They are SETTS kids, ELL kids and gen ed kids all mixed together to make one amazing class. We are a small title 1 school which helps with the community aspect although this hinders the supplies we may receive for our classroom and our students.

My Project

These books will continue to enrich the lives of my students and their already immense love for reading. Not only will they enjoy new titles, they will be able to enhance their love for different genres and authors as well. Unfortunately our school does not have the largest library for our students to choose books from. As a teacher, we want to give our students any and all resources they will need to succeed, reading is at the forefront of those tools. I want my students to understand and love books the way that I do and they can not do that unless they are immersed in many kinds. Right now, they can not do this but I’m hoping with the help of others they will begin to have a wide range of toes to choose from and from their their love will grow!
