Books for Families to Connect

Help me give my students books to create a at home family engagement library

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kleven's classroom raised $273

This project is fully funded

My Project

For the new school year, we want to go a step further with sending books home and create a library that includes books and activities for families to do together. We need the books to go in these bags!

Families reading together is not only good bonding time but also stresses the importance of reading which students then bring to school.

The books also provide students with diverse characters and experiences that they aren't normally exposed to in our small community. This project opens up a whole new world for students and families to engage in together!
