Escape Through Reading

Help me give my students a more complete reading selection for our sustained silent reading time.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wilkins's classroom raised $236

This project is fully funded

My Project

I work in a very rural area. Our library is small and limited with limited buying power.

My goal as a teacher is to create readers.

I show the students that reading can be an escape from their daily struggles and their limited worldly experiences. In order to make this happen with success I am asking for help in growing our collections of reading materials.

Please help me by adding these highly-rated titles of various genres to my classroom library. I work with Middle School and High School students and these books will enrich so many minds.
