Engaging Books
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Detrick's classroom raised $698
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
My 5th grade students are avid readers. Some of them have already read 40+ books this school year, and we still have months to go!
I want to continue to update our classroom library so students will have access to new, engaging books. Many of my students have read the majority of the books in my classroom library, and they have even offered to "fundraise" so we can continue to get new books!
As a teacher, I want to be able to provide my students with access to a wide range of books, and with your support I can do so!
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
