Modern Literature

Help me give my students a culturally rich modern library that contains fiction & non-fiction books, multiple genres, graphic novels, real life stories and more.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Beakley's classroom raised $992

This project is fully funded

My Project

After being in an educators support role (ELA Coach: An educator who assists other teachers with curriculum, lesson planing, co teaching, testing, etc) for 13 years I decided to go back into the classroom to support students. Fortunately finding an 8th grade job was a cinch. Unfortunately, I have given away most of my classroom Library to students in need of books over the last 13 years.

Currently I am without a Classroom Library for my new students in my new classroom.

The new library I am creating will be available for home checkout to all students with no limitations on how many books students can check out or how long they can keep them. This new library is culturally diverse, contains fiction and nonfiction, award winning titles, classics and the latest and greatest books that are now available. Thank you so much for choosing to help my students and myself with this Library project.
