Escape in a Good Book

Help me give my students more dynamic books to choose from; having different graphic novel series (Reina Telgemeier), historical books, and mysteries will really help give the students a variety to really sink their teeth into.

My Project

My students this year are exceptional. They are driven, respectful and responsible. They always have a good book in their hands and they have shared with me some of the books that they love. I would like to expand my classroom library so that they have instant access to engaging titles.

It brings me such joy when I see a student who has previously struggled with reading get lost in a book that has finally spoken to them.

Reading broadens their vocabulary and more importantly, their imagination!! Good books equal happiness.
