An Adventure like no Other

Help me give my students a chance to immerse them into a good book. Thank you for your donation to my classroom library.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Spurgeon's classroom raised $273

This project is fully funded

My Project

These books will add to my classroom library so we can read the books together as a class. Reading as a class builds flency and really gets my students engaged and interested in reading. My students are some of the most special kids in the country. We are a small, rural area and your contribution to my class means so much.

Both of these novels are childhood favorites of my own that can take my students on an adventure like no other where they learn valuable lessons.

Thank you for your donation to my classroom so every child has access to a great book and has the opportunity to become a great reader.
