My Project

I need your help. As an English teacher, I know how important reading is. I am hoping you can help me build a classroom library (our school doesn't have one) I am looking to provide books with characters who are reflective of my students. This will be reading in communities, class discussions, 20 minutes of reading independently and an array of selections so every student and find something they want to read. Please help me fill our bookshelves and our students hands with a book. Your donations help get books into the classroom.
