Books Are Our Friends!

Help me give my students more books and these book sets will be in our room as well as going home with students!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Forehand's classroom raised $582

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are excited about learning and I want to have all they need to stay excited as they learn so much in our classroom! In this time of being remote, they need supplies to help them learn with technology as well as their teacher.

Our school is a small, rural school that has close ties to the community.

Family is very important to our school! Many families are raised by single moms and grandparents! Churches work hand in hand with our school to be sure each student has what they need to learn. So much of the time funds are just not available to ensure students have the materials they need to perform at a high level. Many parents are not able to work during this pandemic and parents want the best for their child, so they can be successful!

This year the students start school at home. It will be so different to teach them. They love to read and write as well as use manipulatives. They are very inquisitive and love to find out about the world around them

My Project

I am helping my students to be exposed to more books by letting them take them home to read. So many parents do not have the money to spend to buy books for their students. Therefore I want to help to immerse them in books.

They can return them and get higher levels of books as they get better with reading.

These books are their friends! They will spend time with them at home. Every book will be enjoyed by the students as they read and venture out in places they haven't been before.
