Classroom Library Essentials

Help me give my students a foundational classroom library! New and clean bins and books will help encourage my students to pick new books and develop a love of reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Raffel's classroom raised $851

My Project

This project will be the reset button on our classroom library! My children will be able to easily find books on their level that meet their interests and match their abilities! The students in my class will be able to learn how to find books based on genre and interest with ease and efficiency!

Developing a healthy appetite for literature is an essential part of early childhood.

We all eat with our eyes; not only food, but the way in which we consume books too!

Children need to feel that the adults in their lives have a vested interest in their education. This project for me, will create a print rich environment for my students! Help us be successful!
