Books for Springtime Reading
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
There are 30 fantastic students in my classroom who love to read! Whether they read alone, with a partner, or in a book club, reading is the favorite time of day for them. When it's time for reading, you can hear a pin drop in our classroom. Help us get more books in our reading block.
I try to keep both new and old titles on hand for my students. Please help us get some new books for the classroom to spice up the next few months!
My Project
I am hoping to get some fresh books into our classroom library to keep up interest in reading and provide new titles my students may not know about. During our reading block, you would see 30 students reading books from all genres. Many of our favorite titles are worn and torn but still in the hands of children because they love them.
Spread some LOVE this February by donating to our classroom library to refresh our bookshelves. Just like adults, kids want to see fresh material on the shelves. New books will keep my students reading and building their literacy skills along the way. Plus these are some FUN books!
