Help Build Our Classroom Library!

Help me give my students multi-cultural early chapter books and picture books! It is important that my students have books that they can see themselves in.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fuerch's classroom raised $706

This project is fully funded

My Students

My second graders are an empathetic and bright bunch. They are the little lights of the world and curious about the world around them. They care for each other and are so happy to be back in school in person this year!

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy-I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-books that they can see themselves in. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
