First Year Teacher in Need of Building a Classroom Library
Hooray! This project is fully funded
Celebrate Black Teachers and Students
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
I just graduated from Columbia College and will be teaching 3rd grade (all subjects). I am very excited about teaching, BUT I am lacking several resources that I believe will be essential in being an effective teacher AND promoting a love of reading to my students. I really would love to have ANY donated children's books to add to my classroom library. I really feel like I NEED these books because I want my students to develop a love of reading. Thank you in advance!
