Books for Classroom Library!

Help me give my students complete and diverse book sets for our classroom library! We also need other items to help us start the year off right!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fuerch's classroom raised $1,282

This project is fully funded

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-books that they can see themselves in. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
