More Books! - Third Grade Persuasion Project

Help me give my students the books they so convincingly requested for their school library shelves!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jackie Overlid's classroom raised $476

This project is fully funded

My Project

On a recent Thursday morning, I was formally handed a neat stack of 20 very persuasive letters from a third grade class all imploring the same thing: "I believe our library needs more copies of books." "Every time I come to the library, the books I want to read are checked out" "We want to read in a series." "Please consider buying more copies of books in popular book series."

These kiddos know what they want: more copies of the books they love!

I want to show these thoughtful young readers that I am listening to their requests but it is hard to balance purchasing newly released titles with replacing those that are lost or loved to pieces. This project with help jumpstart replacing those copies and show this class that their opinions are valued!
