Crazy Mrs. V's Amazing 7th Grade Reading Library

Help me give my students the opportunity to have an amazing classroom library in order to build an interest in not only fiction but non-fiction. These books will provide cultural awareness and a love of reading and learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Vizzerra's classroom raised $999

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

Students have been affected in many ways by the Covid-19 pandemic. One of the ways our students have been affected is in their love of reading and having the accessibility to a classroom library. Online learning was a challenge and the students were many times unable to have books that they were able to read at home.

This will provide my students with great opportunities to build a love of reading every day.

The students will be able to have many opportunities for success in the classroom. This will provide them with a love of reading that will last a lifetime.
