Mrs. Skinner from Raleigh NC is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

More Books, More Choice, More Reading!

Help me give my students great choices of books in our Book Vending Machine!

My Project

The books we have selected will be available to students via a book vending machine! Students can earn tokens through our Positive Behavior Support System (ROAR bucks and raffle tickets) and then be able to select the book of their choice!

Our goal is to promote a lifelong love of reading by using the books kids most want to read!

What better way to increase literacy in our school than by giving students books to take home and keep and enjoy! We have chosen a mixture of popular graphic novels and series literature, hopefully appealing to a variety of readers. By combining our students' successes with a love of reading, we are hoping to create a positive environment in the building.
