In my classroom, books are more than just tools for learning. They are gateways to imagination, critical thinking, and lifelong curiosity. Many of my students do not have access to a wide variety of books at home which limits their ability to explore different genres, cultures, and ideas. By donating to my DonorsChoose, you will help provide my students with the opportunity to dive into new worlds, build literacy skill, and develop a love of reading.
Access to high-quality books allow students to improve their vocabulary, comprehension, and writing skills.
Whether it's a fictional story that sparks creativity or a non-fiction book that expands their knowledge, each book will contribute to their growth and confidence as readers. Your donation will enable me to create a classroom library that is engaging, diverse, and reflective of my students' interests.
Thank you for helping to create a positive, book-rich environment that will inspire my students for years to come. Your generosity will make a lasting impact
