Durable Book Bins for Independent Readers!

Help me give my students strong book bins to support a life long love of reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McLeod's classroom raised $166

This project is fully funded

My Project

Each week, students have an opportunity to go "book shopping." They choose a set of books from our classroom library that they are interested in, and they practice reading from these books all week long! Students get excited for their "book shopping" day, because this means new books to explore all week long!

Unfortunately, our current book bins are falling apart.

They are made of cardboard, and most have been stepped on, smushed, ripped, or drenched in water. Many of our book bins are held together by packing tape.

Please help my students keep their books safe and organized with new, durable book bins!
