Mrs. Quetant from Philadelphia, PA is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

An Engaging, Diverse Classroom Library for My Students!

Help me give my students diverse, high-interest books for our classroom library to encourage independent reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Quetant's classroom raised $843

My Project

Independent reading is key to raising reading levels. Many of my students read below grade level for various reasons and need practice reading texts independently to grow as readers. Having high-interest books in the classroom for students to choose from is key to building a love for reading and raising reading levels.

Reading on grade level has a huge impact on the future lives of my students.

Please help me build a classroom library that will support students in becoming better readers and help them to fall in love with reading. Being able to have books that spark student interest will push them to practice reading more. I often tell my students that reading is power, and power is freedom. Your donation will help give my students the freedom to become whoever they want by supporting them as they become stronger readers. Thank you so much for considering my project!
