A Cool Classroom Library

Help me give my students an amazing classroom library! My second graders need to make great gains in reading this year. You can be apart of our journey!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Blakely's classroom raised $661

My Project

My 2nd grade students love to read and need books in their little hands! We already use online reading and virtual books. We also need to be able to pick up books and build our reading stamina.

Currently, the only books in our classroom library are books I have collected, or I have purchased over the years, as a teacher.

Students need to have access to books geared toward their individual reading level. Leveled books will help them grow and build reading fluency, along with their stamina as readers. As I prepare my students to become independent readers, they should be making progress as their books advance. Please help!
