My Project

My classroom library has a lot of books that are currently falling apart. The books that are left are ones that students do not prefer to read. Please help me replace books that will grow their love for reading. The focus of this project are graphic novels and non fiction books - both of which can teach students all that books have to offer! By donating, you will help students gain literacy, a hobby, and may help them discover a new passion! Please consider donating to my classroom library. Thanks!
