Ms. Kosco from Salisbury, NC is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Engaging New Books

Help me give my students engaging and exciting new books that students have requested over the school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kosco's classroom raised $747

This project is fully funded

My Project

These books will encourage students to read more exciting stories. These books were all requested over the course of the school year. As a Title I school, we have very limited funding for buying books to add to our school library.

This project will not only encourage students to read more, but, to engage in stories that they have shown an interest in.

This will get my reluctant readers excited and give them the push they need to find books that are right for them, and that they want to read. As a media specialist, that is my goal, to encourage reading and to foster learning.
