Building a Library of Dreams for Future Readers

Help me give my students access to a rich classroom library filled with diverse and engaging books to spark their love for reading along with a carpet and storage cabinet!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hudson's classroom raised $894

This project is fully funded

My Project

My classroom is full of curious, enthusiastic learners who are eager to explore the world through books. Many come from low-income backgrounds and don't have access to books at home, making our classroom library a critical part of their literacy development. I want to create a positive environment for students to escape their reality in. I am in need of supplies to make this dream come into a reality. I am requesting a collection of high-interest, age-appropriate books that reflect a diverse range of authors, cultures, and genres. The books, storage cabinet, and rug will help build a classroom library that meets the varied interests and reading levels of my students, from beginning readers to budding bookworms.
