Help me give my students book sets of characters they love to read.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Garzelli's classroom raised $237

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our school year will be starting before we know it and my classroom library needs some tender loving care.

Many of the books in my library have been there for years and they are falling apart.

There are also always great new books being published and I'd like to give my students access to them. There is nothing quite like listening to a student quietly get excited when I tell them it is time to pull a book out to read. I would love to provide them with high interest novels for them to enjoy.
