Books Galore!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gonzalez Hoy's classroom raised $946

My Project

I'm requesting tons of books, as well as sensory cushions and bouncy bands! Series readers for students to read during reading workshop, read aloud for engagement, and leveled readers for intervention.

Students will be so excited to read, read, read!

I haven't updated my classroom library in years, so I know that students will be really excited to see new titles and books enter our classroom. I can't wait to see all the joy that will come from including new books like The Bad Guys, Emma Every Day, and nonfiction readers all about animals!

All of the books will be for students to read, utilize, and enjoy during the school day. I can only imagine how fun book shopping will be once we have these new choices on our shelves.

We'll also use the chair bands and feet stools for students that need something extra to get their wiggles out especially while reading!
