My Project

I am looking to provide my students with two books to take home over the summer. My students love to read, and I want to keep encouraging their love for learning. My goal is to provide two books that each student can keep.

I want my third grade students to continue their love for reading, even at home.

This DonorsChoose will allow each student to receive “Fourth Grade Rats” and “I Saved the World and I’m Only in Fourth Grade”. These books will allow my students to read the types of stories that interest them.
