Help me give my students more books. We meet with our reading groups each day to read books, develop reading skills, and establish a love for reading, but we need chapter books.

My Project
Our school has chapter books for teachers to check out to read with their students. Each day, we meet with small groups of students in our classes to help develop reading skills and foster the love for reading. With our large class sizes, we usually need at least 8 copies of each novel in order for each person in a group to have a copy of the current book of study. Unfortunately, books that originally were purchased for this purpose usually contain 3-5 copies of a book. This makes having reading groups so difficult.
Fifth grade is the perfect opportunity to develop life-long readers that can't wait to put a book in their hands and set sail on the adventures that await them on the pages of great books.
I would love to start to build the 5th grade chapter book library so that the teachers on our team can help establish a love for books with our students and reinforce our students' reading skills.
The books on my wish list will be rotated between the 5th grade reading classrooms throughout the year. I realize that book prices add up very quickly, but my wishlist of books would benefit 180 students this year alone. Let's say these chapter books last us at least 10 years, that comes out to spending a mere $0.79 per student to help build this love for reading. I would appreciate your help with developing this love for books for years to come.
