Battling Books

Help me give my students a fighting chance to win the 22-23 Battle of the Books competition.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Monroe-Leach's classroom raised $331

This project is fully funded

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich library that I strive to create. My library is a place that my students really enjoy, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen for the Battle of the Books competition but will be added to the collection for all students to read.

With these new books, my students will be able to first compete in the Battle of the Books competition then secondly add to collection for all students to read.

They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
