Hey! Come Read With Me!

Help me give my students a collection of fun & engaging classroom books!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. GIPSON's classroom raised $399

This project is fully funded

My Project

The books I chose for this project were picked to enhance our print-rich classroom. The classroom library is a place our students enjoy. It's a place where I read to them & they read independently. Every student book that is placed in our library is treated with love and care and our students are thankful for the variety from books.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from math/science books to poetry books to read independently at their own grade level.

They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading.
