Help me give my students access to a classroom library. I want to be able to give my students the opportunity to foster the love of books by providing growth mindset, self-reflection and worth, and diversity.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bates's classroom raised $622

My Students
I am so excited to teach this amazing group of fun and spunky 2nd graders. This school year, we are looking to expand our reading adventures since we will not be in the classroom full-time. These books will help us become diverse readers and help us to understand other people's cultures and ideas.
My Project
I plan on using these during my distance and in-person learning opportunities. I want to be able to create an open learning space for students were they are able to learn about other cultures, backgrounds, self-love, growth mindset, and perseverance.
I want to provide students with stories that they can relate to and fall in love with so they are able to foster a lifelong love for reading and understand that books can take us on an adventure no matter where we live.
The books I have chosen will give students the opportunity to explore endless opportunities one page at a time.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
