A Library to Love

Help me give my students a warm and welcoming classroom library, with comfortable seating and fun lighting options to enhance their reading experience!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smart's classroom raised $556

My Project

My 5th grade students are unique and have a wide-range of interests; they read at different grade levels and in different languages. In spite of their individuality, the one thing they have in common is that they all deserve a fun and relaxing place to read, that will keep them coming back for more!

With your help, my students will have a modern and comfortable place to enjoy their books.

I have been collecting books for over a decade and now it's time to create an exciting classroom library so I can better display the books we love. Labels and book tape will allow me to better catalog the books, making it easier and quicker for students to make their reading selections. Offering multiple lighting options such as lamps and flashlights will help keep the reading atmosphere fun and engaging for each student. A few pillows and decorations will make our library feel like home so that students want to stay and read longer!
