Amazing New Books for Amazing Students

Help me give my students new and exciting books to keep them engaged and reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Buchanan's classroom raised $459

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students all come from diverse backgrounds and want to read books that are bright and engaging. I also want them to see themselves in books that they read. I am also wanting to give them more books for beginning readers to spark the love of books and reading. Graphic Novels have been extremely popular, and I want to get them more options.

My students want more books that have engaging stories and illustrations.

This helps to encourage and bolster their love of books. Students need to see themselves in the literature they read as well.

Reading opens up their world through knowledge and imagination. Many of these books also have great graphic novels. The students loved this last year and I want more for them to enjoy.
