Inspiring Readers and Future Inventors

Help me give my students an updated library that directly aligns with their curriculum. Additionally, help my students to engage in STEM bins as part of their daily morning routine to support engagement in cooperation and teamwork.

My Project

My students are curious, hardworking, and excited to learn. They love discovering new ideas and thrive when they have engaging resources to support their learning. However, our classroom does not have independent reading books that match our curriculum series or STEM bins for hands-on exploration. These resources will help students strengthen reading comprehension, build confidence with familiar stories, and develop critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills through meaningful STEM activities.

My goal is to create a classroom where every student has the opportunity to grow as a confident reader and creative thinker.

By providing curriculum-aligned books and STEM bins, students will have meaningful opportunities to practice literacy skills independently while exploring, designing, and learning through play. Your generosity will help foster a love of reading, inspire curiosity, and give my students the tools they need to succeed both in and beyond the classroom.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
