Classroom Library Essentials

Help me give my students a classroom library filled with books for them to practice their reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lim's classroom raised $431

This project is fully funded

My Project

These books will be a part of our classroom library, where the students will be able to browse and pick any book they want to read. They may use them in class, as well as take them home to use for their reading logs.

The only way to get better at reading, is by reading!

These students deserve to have easy access to books, as many families may not be able to afford them. These books will also help me to see what reading level they are at and what interests them.
