Create a High Interest Classroom Library

My students need access to high interest novels to encourage a love of reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carrie's classroom raised $764

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are a diverse group of thinkers and learners who come together in the spirit of learning. We are a public, urban Montessori middle school, and as a school that opened three years ago, we are still emerging and growing as a community. We are located in a historically diverse and low income community. 77% of our students receive free and reduced price lunch.

My students love reading!

They come to middle school with an enthusiasm for their educations and form a strong community. Our Montessori classroom experience is focused on educating the whole child and creating lifelong learners.

My Project

While my students come to middle school as readers, my classroom lacks enough high interest books to sustain a year of daily reading. We need updated books in our 6th grade classroom library. We love having books in our classroom, and it would be nice to have some fresh titles.

I would like high-interest, engaging, young-adult novels to promote a culture of literacy among my 6th grade students.

Specifically, students are always asking to read more books about sports, books in series, graphic novels, and popular YA titles. I want to make sure there is enough reading material readily available to cultivate and sustain life-long reading and learning for my students.
