This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Charlesworth from Elmwood, IL is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

A Book for Every Student

Help me give my students a classroom library they love! These books are diverse and high interest books my students are requesting to read, but our district doesn't have library, so we are building a classroom library.

My Project

Build Our Classroom Library!

We are a small, rural school with low income, and we do not have a high school library.

With minimal resources, it's hard to keep high-interest books on the shelf. It is our goal that we foster a love of reading by filling our shelves with the books students are requesting to read and the genres we are lacking.

We want them to have stories that are diverse and relatable so that each student continues to come back for more! High-interest books will help instill their love for reading and continue to work on their comprehension and analysis skills.

We have quarterly book reports, so it would be wonderful to see them more invested and interested in what they are reading.

Thank you in advance for your support!
