High Interest Books

Help me give my students high interest reading books for all types of readers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ackerman's classroom raised $411

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students range from 6th grade to 12th grade and it can be difficult to keep enough variety of books in my classroom library. The titles that I'm asking for are books that students requested. As you can see, the books range from Harry Potter to Computer Coding and Graphic Novels.

My students practice reading every class and with these new books, I can keep them engaged and excited to read.

I can't wait to see my students' faces when they see all the new books in class! Thank you so much!
