Building a Library

Help me give my students books for our Author of the Month themes and classroom library.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hollander's classroom raised $791

This project is fully funded

My Project

The books I've selected for our classroom library will serve multiple purposes.

Each month, we celebrate various authors like Ezra Jack Keats, Leo Leonni, Jan Brett, and Tomie De Paola.

These essential and classic works will enrich our students' literacy, love of reading, and appreciation of beautiful illustrations.

Other enjoyable books were thoughtfully chosen based on monthly and holiday themes, as well as featuring the favorite characters of many of my students. We also need a place to house the books, so I'm including a library shelf in this donation request.

My students have shown a love and appreciation for books and an interest in reading, and I can't wait to help fuel their excitement!
