Lions & Tigers & Books, Oh My!

Help me give my students these newer and more up-to-date books about different types of zoo animals and their natural habitats.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fox's classroom raised $906

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our library is a learning hub in our small, rural school of about 350 students. Here they are exposed to a variety of books, technology, activities, and resources to encourage their diverse interests. They are continuously requesting more and newer books in our library! When I can fill their specific requests, their excitement for reading grows and they are more motivated to read!

My students need newer, more up to date books about different types of zoo animals and their habits.

They ask me daily for more animal books that are not older, dingy, or worn out and torn. They deserve the newest information and most interesting photos and illustrations to help engage and ignite their excitement for learning about these animals!

Over 90% of our students are from lower-income families, single-parent families, and receive free lunch in our Title I school. A large number of our student population lives between houses of different family members. Our school is located in one of the most rural parts of our county and most are at least twenty minutes away from the nearest public library.
