Hungry for Snacks and Books!

Help me give my students snacks and drinks to fill their bellies and high-interest books for reading success!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bains's classroom raised $166

My Project

I would love to give my students a variety of books to add to our classroom library. Books have a special way of reaching children bringing joy, smiles, and laughter. My goal is to instill a love of reading in my eager kindergarteners.

The books I have chosen are highly engaging for my kindergarteners who read at a wide range of levels and these early readers will be excellent for my English learners and newcomers.

I have a limited number of books for my emergent readers so they would be thrilled to have these available to them. Books not only provide knowledge but they can be character-shaping and life-changing! I am requesting snacks and drinks to help fuel their brains and bodies through our long, 6-hour days! Please help bring books and snacks to life for my amazing, eager-to-read kindergarteners.
