Let There Be Books

Help me give my students fresh new books for our classroom library to enjoy.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McIlroy's classroom raised $325

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are active learners and live in a small rural community. I am currently reorganizing my classroom library. I am putting them into genre bins so it is easier for students to find books. My students love to read so much.

These books are my class favorites.

I can't keep them on the shelf. They all love to pick the same genre and then discuss them or read together. Unfortunately, my books become weathered quickly. My goal is to keep fresh books on the shelf to keep my student's interest high.
