Books for Building Bigger Brains

My students need an assortment of books at their individual reading levels to build fluency and independent reading skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Flynn's classroom raised $480

My Students

My students are young, bright sponges of inquiry and delight. They are eager learners filled with energy and a thirst for all things fun!

Confident, curious and creative; my students are eager for a challenge and ready to learn new things!

Our school sits in a quiet community. Jobs are hard to come by and the cost of living is higher than most can afford. Often my students live with other families or with Grandparents or even Great-Grandparents. Children are safe, loved and cherished at their school. The motto on our classroom wall is, “There is Great Love For You Here.”

My Project

I am so happy to have found books on Lakeshore. Our classroom strives to be literature rich and these books will be a great addition. The sight-word and word family books are just what we need for our low level readers. And the assortment of non-fiction and I Can Read books are perfect for our beginning readers.

My students will be so excited to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.

Thank you for your kind consideration. Reading groups will be greatly enhanced and we will be grateful for years to come!
