Joy of Reading Part 2

Help me give my students entertaining and enriching books to build their Joy of Reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tokushige's classroom raised $937

This project is fully funded

My Project

When Covid hit, learning and entertainment became reliant on technology.

Going to the library to borrow actual books was not allowed.

I would like to bring back the Joy of Reading for my students. Bring back the greatness of imagination. Allow them to connect life lessons to stories. Build their social and emotional capacities. The materials I have chosen can do all of this. The materials I have chosen are books. A lot of the books I have chosen are series where the students can familiarize themselves with the characters and relate to them. They can get excited for the new adventures the characters take them on. Students can reacquaint themselves with the greatness of books!
