Building A Love For Reading!

Help me give my students new books for our small but mighty classroom library!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Uong's classroom raised $652

My Project

My students have requested more books for our classroom, and I'd like to follow through with my efforts to get them those stories! They enjoy reading independently, with their friends, and can't wait for me to read aloud everyday. Since I just moved from the mainland to Hawaii, I could only transport a limited amount of books with me.

The donations to this project will help me share meaningful and positive reading experiences with my kiddos, encouraging them to grow into a life long reader!

One of my favorite things about reading is that it provides my kids the opportunities to practice social/emotional skills such as sharing, listening, and taking turns. As we work on kindness with our SEL curriculum, I am excited to see the students use books as a way to connect to others. Thank you for reading!
