Birds All Around Us!

Help me give my students colorful books about birds for research and to add to our classroom library.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ware's classroom raised $266

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am asking for some new books about birds for my kindergarten and first-grade students. While I teach themes on birds, my students like to read and look through colorful books. So it is important to have a wide variety of books about birds as part of the classroom library.

When children have a selection of books from which to choose, they are independently motivated to keep reading.

The students can challenge themselves to explore new images and texts about birds. They can learn more about topics that interest them. In this way, they become lifelong readers who read to learn and for pleasure. These bird books will allow them to make connections with them, which can lead to student-driven conversations.
