Building a Multilingual Library

Help me give my students a multilingual library full of vibrant and interesting books in various languages.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jessika's classroom raised $800

This project is fully funded

My Project

Right now, our library consists of mostly english language books, with a small amount of fully spanish books. We have many children that have just entered school and do not speak english. It is imperative that we support these students the best we can.

I would love to supplement our library with books in multiple languages that also are in English, in order to support both our teachers and dual language learners.

The cozy dolls and tangram blocks would also be wonderful additons to our library area. Your support in reaching this goal would be greatly appreciated!
