A More Engaging and Inclusive Reading Experience

Help me give my students a more diversified and engaging classroom library to help them enjoy reading again!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Stringam's classroom raised $491

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have selected books that will help diversify my classroom library and help students better identify themselves within the stories. I also have included novels that are more popular and age-appropriate than the ones I currently have in order to grab their attention and make them want to read. I also am requesting some noise-canceling ear plugs that will help students focus during work time and assessments. I have noticed that background noise can be extremely distracting for them.

The supplies above will help my students become more engaged in reading and focused in the classroom.
