Chapter Books Needed!

Help me give my students fun chapter books that they will enjoy!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Valdez's classroom raised $427

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My classroom needs chapter books. My students are in different reading stages. Some of my students are learning to read, others are decoding or transiting, and the rest are fluent readers. My fluent readers are ready to jump into reading chapter books. They need chapter books that are engaging. Our classroom library needs chapter books or series that are fun and entertaining to read. We would love to have Dog Man, Smile, Bad Guys, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid chapter books.

If you decide to donate to our classroom project, our classroom library will have book series and chapter books to foster the love of reading.

These books will engage my students and will provide hours of enjoyment. Thank you for all your kindness, support, and dedication to education!
