Expanding Our Classroom Library

Help me give my students some holiday, SEL, and inclusive books to add to our classroom library!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Murfitt's classroom raised $353

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am creating this project to expand my classroom library for my students. After celebrating Halloween, I realized I had limited read-alouds and stories for my students to use during the holidays. I wanted to grow my library for holidays, include some social-emotional books, as well as some culturally inclusive books!

My goal for this project is to have more read-alouds in our classroom and support my students SEL.

My students enjoy the books in our library and I want to continue to encourage their love for reading by adding more books to our collection! I chose books that would be of their interest and some that have characters they have already enjoyed!
