My Project

Please help me provide my 4th graders with a library they will enjoy learning in!

Reading makes leaders and our class library should be a place where my students are drawn to.

The rugs and seating area will allow the students to be comfortable in their reading area. The bookshelves allow for proper storage of our new books. Please help us get our classroom library established. Not only will your contribution help students this current year but it will also help those who are coming into our room in the future.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
