Book Club Goals

Help me give my students access to new, relatable books for our book clubs!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Detrick's classroom raised $930

This project is fully funded

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

These books will help enrich my students' lives in many ways. Many of the students at my school are low-income, and some are even experiencing homelessness. For them, school is a safe place where they can relax and let their guard down.

All of my students are avid readers, and they deserve to have meaningful books.

I meet in book clubs each week, and my students absolutely love the opportunity to read new books!

This project would fulfill my goal of being able to differentiate my book clubs more successfully, thus meeting the reading goals of each of my students!
