Accessing Awesome Books

Help me give my students access to highly engaging books that are always checked out of the library!

My Project

There are some books that are so popular at our school, they are always checked out by the time our class goes to the library. Giving students access to book that they are highly motivated to read is key to creating life long readers.

Help me give my students access to the Creepy Tales series by Aaron Reynolds, as well as the Noodleheads series that is a perfect reading level for many first graders.

Also, having a crayon sharpener will eliminate the need to constantly peel crayons. This will save instructional time and work time for students.
