Exciting New Book Buddy Books

Help me give my students exciting new books and markers for the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Vankirk's classroom raised $189

My Project

Each day students read with their book buddy and discuss comprehension questions to build their fluency and understanding. We are need of more duplicate books to supplement our book buddy program.

By funding this project, you will help bring new and modern book series into the classroom to support our book buddy program.

Our library only has so many copies of each book and groups of 3 have a hard time finding the same books to read. Students have been asking for new series that they see in the public libraries and in bookstores. Help us update our outdated library.

This project supports the need for new and exciting books while providing the duplicate books students need to read with their partners. Thank you for supporting our classroom.
