Hungry for Nonfiction Books!

Help me give my students access to the rich experience of reading leveled nonfiction reading books from the classroom library.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Agyeman_Bugyei's classroom raised $930

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to read and I have always worked hard to give them an updated library with books that are interesting, engaging and relevant to their lives. While I have been able to get fictional books for the classroom library, my class is in need of non-fiction books!

Despite all the issues my students face, they always come to school prepared to learn, but are in need of classroom resources.

They come to school each and every day eager to learn and anxious to delve into books they cannot access at home. It is my goal every day to make sure that books are getting into my students' hands. The more time children spend reading books, the better readers they become.

My students are intelligent and are always willing to learn new things. They love to read and believe that reading can take them as far as becoming future leaders.
