Ms. Murphy's classroom raised $441

Early Literacy for Kids

Help me give my students a classroom library with a variety of books from various genres. The goal is to provide an environment where students develop a love for reading and literacy.

Ms. Murphy Kuumba Academy Charter School
Wilmington, DE Grades PreK-2

My Project

I love that I serve a diverse group of scholars. I love that they each bring something unique to the classroom and that is what makes them special.

These books will give them a ton of topics to read from each day in our classroom.

My goal is for the students to enhance their love for reading and become life-long readers.

My classroom library is a place that the students genuinely love. They enjoy spending time there and they love reading all of the different books. Reading is one their favorite pastimes.
