My Project

During independent reading time one day this week, one of my third graders asked if we could get more books from The Baby-Sitters Club series for our classroom library. She had already read the only two we currently have. I responded that I would see what I could do. This led to other students enthusiastically asking for more books from other series, like Henry Heckelbeck.

It is wonderful to see third graders get excited about picking out another book from their favorite series.

I would love to be able to offer my young readers more books that I know they will look forward to reading.

Ms. Carrano will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 20.
