Learning through Literacy

Help me give my students new and engaging nonfiction books to add to the school library shelves.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Y.'s classroom raised $373

My Project

The students in my school love the library and love to read! I work at an elementary school where students often do not have many books in their home, so they come to the library excited to find new things to read. By donating to this project, you would be supporting learning through literature.

Students learn better when they are able to read and build background knowledge about topics and updated nonfiction books are a great way to accomplish this goal.

In this project, I have put together a list of new nonfiction books that I would love to add to our library shelves for students to checkout and read for years to come!
