"Mrs. Gholston, did you know that this book is part of a series?" "Why yes, curious student I did know, why do you ask?" "My group finished our book study today and we need you to get us the next book."
Students begging you to Amazon Prime a book sequel - that's every teacher's dream.
I'm lucky because this happens all the time where I teach. I am blessed to work with gifted learners who read books faster than I can get them into their hands. I was inspired to write this grant today because the above conversation occurred and I can't let students miss out on what comes next for their favorite book characters. Please help me to be able to continue to grow a love of reading for these young scholars.
