Books That Build Part 2
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Melissa Smith's classroom raised $531
This project is fully funded
My Students
My students are always amazing! They surprise me each and every day and keep me learning more for them. We seriously have some of the best students in our small-town elementary school.
My students are always ready to try something new and because of that, I want to be a better teacher every day. I want to grow with them! Our school includes over 60% free or reduced-price lunch recipients, but together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.
My Project
Books are such an important part of every classroom. Books inspire. They bring joy. Books teach and continue to excite our learning.
Books take children on adventures and to places they never imagined going.
These books will add many books about different cultures. It will also add many topics like kindness, growth mindset, and believing in yourself.
I want my students to be exposed to a variety of books. Reading, for fun, is the most important thing a child can learn at school. I want to be sure we have many different types of books available. Thank you for your support of reading in my classroom.
