Growing the Mind Through Reading

Help me give my students access to books that will help grow their Imaginations and knowledge

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hamner's classroom raised $179

This project is fully funded

My Project

I plan to use these books to help increase my students reading skills. The different types of books will help get our children involved and interested in reading this year. I look forward to sharing different types of novels and stories with our classroom. My biggest school is to make reading enjoyable for every student in my class. I would love to find different types of books for everybody that will keep them interested and keep them reading.

Having a variety of books to offer to our students will be extremely helpful.
