Increasing Student Enrichment Through Reading

Help me give my students access to a classroom library that accelerates their learning and increases engagement!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Wismann's classroom raised $974

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are an enthusiastic, outgoing, and motivated group of students. They love to learn and grow and they deserve access to a classroom library that allows them to be engaged while increasing their enrichment and SEL skills.

These books and materials will allow me to set up a classroom library that represents the diversity of my students, which will increase their engagement.

It includes a wide variety of SEL books to reinforce social emotional learning and mental health. These materials will give my students the opportunity to learn and grow with high engagement and collaborative discussion.
