Beautiful Books for Beautiful Students

Help me give my students a library that represents them and allows them options to fall in love with reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Issy's classroom raised $751

My Project

Falling in love with reading can be hard for kids today with technology always available. I want to have a library with books that hook kids on reading. Many of my kids read under their grade level so it is very important to expose them to as many books as possible to help them build their reading skills. Having books that each student can read will allow me to encourage readers at all levels.

These books were books picked by my students that they say they wish we had in our classroom.
