More Books for My Students (and Some Book Tape Too)!

Help me give my students books they want, like Making Friends, I Survive, and Guinness World Records, along with some library repair tape!

My Project

Some students have a hard time choosing a book to read. I've tried to remedy that by offering my students a wide variety of titles that spark the interest of many of my more reluctant readers. I do need to keep adding titles, and replacing those that become worn out -- but funding is almost non-existent!

Getting books into the hands of kids is the best way to keep them reading.

I need to replace the missing volumes from our "Making Friends" series, and add new world record collections as well. Some additional bookends and repair tape will help keep things organized!

Would you help me give my students the books they want to read?

Mr. D. Will C Wood Middle School Grades 6-8
