Books and Book Buddies

Help me give my students new books to read and new book buddies to read to.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Holden's classroom raised $313

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy-I read on the carpet to them, 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 with my students in mind.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.

Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time. They will also be able to choose books that interest them and be able to choose a buddy to read to. I love to add book buddies that my students have read about. It makes the whole experience more meaningful.
