Learning and Growing with Books

Help me give my students a variety of books to promote connection, learning, and wonder!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Grace's classroom raised $158

My Project

My preschool students love books! They are always asking to go to our classroom library to look at the books, compare different pictures, and find out what's happening in the story. They would be happy spending the whole day of school in our classroom library just looking at and talking about the books they are reading.

My students are interested in a variety of topics and we love to foster their interests through books!

Because of this, we are asking for your help and donations to round out our classroom library and to add more books to spark their curiosity, wonder, and early literacy skills.
