FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Karen's classroom raised $1,622
This project is fully funded
My Project
My classroom is full of students from diverse backgrounds who would love to see themselves in the books that they read. I will use these books specifically for my classroom library and for reading aloud during the day. In addition, this collection of books will meet the varied levels and interests of the readers that I have in my classroom! I would greatly appreciate your support as I am a first year teacher in a high needs school. My kids really enjoy reading with partners and to make the rest of the year extra special I would really love to add to our classroom library. Thank you!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
