Fall into a Good Book

Help me give my students books at their level so they can spend time reading their new book!

My Students

Welcome to 6th Grade! In our class, we have a morning mantra "We gain more knowledge, we're on our way to college!" Everyday, I get to teach and love a group of 29 6th graders who love to learn, think and make mistakes. We learn from each other in our journey to get to college.

My students come to school everyday ready to learn and grow.

To them, school is a safe haven, where they can depend on getting a hot meal, positive social interactions and love from their teacher.

My Project

Everyone needs a good book! Reading is essential to fostering the imagination and the interest of students. My students will benefit from reading great books in many ways. My students love to read and love to learn about new things. New books would help my students continue their love for reading and writing.

Imagine spending the afternoon curled up with a great book.

My students would be able to choose a book at their level, and spend their reading time with a new book. We would also use the books to for literature circles and book studies. The books will also allow students to recommend other books to their peers or anyone outside of the classroom.
