Library Refresh

Help me give my students a library refresh! My students are begging for new titles to read. Help me give them all the books!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hemze's classroom raised $614

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are a bright bunch of 5th graders who are constantly pushing themselves to reach their goals. My 5th graders take initiative in their own learning and are always excited to demonstrate their understanding of a new topic or subject.

My Project

My students are bright, book loving 5th graders! Help me give my students books that will teach them new things, excite them, and introduce them to new cultures and experiences.

My students go through the books in our classroom library so fast, and are always asking for new titles to enjoy.

They love to read and I want to provide them with as many books as I can to introduce them to new experiences. The books in this project will introduce them to the stories of people that are different than them, and will provide them with stories of people they can relate to as well.

Ms. Hemze Lowell P Goodrich Elementary School Grades 3-5
