Building Knowledge Through Literature

Help me give my students the books they need to help build their knowledge.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Masina's classroom raised $618

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are curious learners who are anxious to learn more and build their knowledge. They work hard and want to do better, they want to learn more about the world around them and the history that helped shaped that world.

Having access to books will help build background knowledge, and spark more curiosity.

Reading and having access to books that interest them helps children develop their academic skills across the disciplines. Writing skills, understanding of the world around them, and their academic knowledge will all increase with more access to books.
