My Project

As a first year teacher a big issue I have run into is building up my classroom libraries for my students. With this project I hope to provide my students with books that pique and engage their interests so they build a love for reading. My goal is to use this money to purchase books and book sets for my fifth grade students. I have always had a love for reading, and I want to help instill that love in my students too!

Please help me build my classroom library for my students.

You can do this by donating to this project! Thank you so much!
