As You Wish V: Library Book Requests From Our Students

Help me give my students the library books they want so they can continue their reading journey!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Spencer's classroom raised $587

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The school library is quickly becoming one of the most well-loved places on our campus! I'd love to reward and encourage their interest in the library (and reading!) by purchasing some of the books they've suggested. We've created a great system for students to suggest new books or topics for the library.

By reading the books they are most interested in - even if that topic seems frivolous or silly to adults - my students can improve their reading skills and start to make up some of the learning loss created by the COVID pandemic.

When students feel like partners in choosing their own books, they get more excited about reading and learning and are more likely to continue those habits their whole lives.

This is our fifth "As You Wish" project and the main focus for this round of books is I Spy books for our younger grades, Would You Rather books for the older students, and a whole BUNCH of new books about our school's two favorite sports: basketball and soccer! We are also looking for some additional copies of our most beloved titles, such as Go Away Big Green Monster and the Taco Dragon series by Adam Rubin.
