My students need interesting books on beginning fourth grade level, from "The Boxcar Children" to "The Chameleon Wore Chartreuse".
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. B.'s classroom raised $482
This project is fully funded
I teach in a Title I (high-need) school. My classroom is a third grade language arts room and I have two classes (approximately 40) students each day.
Many of my students are avid readers and will read an entire chapter book or more a night if they can get their hands on them! My leveled library, unfortunately, is quite limited, and there are not enough books to keep the students' interest. We only have one basket (approximately 25) level O (approx. 3.8 grade level) books that many students have to share
My students need books that are interesting to them that they have not read! I have chosen 45 books to add to my classroom library that appeal to their interest and are developmentally appropriate for my students.
Your support can help ensure that my students continue to love reading and that they have the resources to do so.
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
