Cool New Readers

Help me give my students new fiction and nonfiction books for independent reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Maguire's classroom raised $576

This project is fully funded

My Project

The second graders just absolutely LOVE to read. We are running out of new books to read. We are also discovering new series or types of book that we are interested in.

The goal for this project is for the students to find their love for reading.

Whether it is in a nonfiction reader or a mystery series book.

This group of students are doing an amazing job this year and I would love to provide them with more books to read and enjoy during their time in my classroom. I really hope they get so excited to read, this excitement continues at home.
