Literacy and the Love of Reading

Help me give my students the joy of reading, whether it be online or through a classroom library.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Engman's classroom raised $1,354

My Students

My students from Hawai'i are eager learners. They are creative, thoughtful, caring, and passionate about learning. They love to find solutions to problems and focus on hands-on activities. They come to class ready to learn and always have an abundance of questions.

Nearly the entire school population receives free or reduced lunch, English language learner, and/or their families do not have the money to purchase supplies due to the ongoing pandemic.

Please help my students achieve their educational goals. They love various methods of learning, whether it be by computer, in group work, or small discussions. Their ongoing curiosity is an inspiration to me every day!

My Project

All of my students express a desire for a broad range of books to read. Please help me provide a couple of classroom sets as well as digital resources to allow remote learning opportunities for all of my students.

Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read.

All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading.

Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
