This teacher needs your help!

New Books! Come and Get Them!

Help me give my students new books that either have been well read (Captain Underpants) or new books that they haven't seen (Pokemon). These 30+ books will really help out our school library.

My Students

My students are in a wide range of ages and abilities. Every student is gifted but finding out what they are gifted in can be difficult. Being the school Media Specialist, I see and work with all the students in the building.

Our community is a small, rural area next to a large expanding county.

This can make it hard sometimes for our economically challenged students. My students are hard workers, but they need more to work with and they need inspiration.

My Project

My studets like to read and they are always looking for either the same books, a new books in the same series or the book has fallen apart due to repeat borrowing (this is a good thing). Having new books = more students reading and that is the best of all.

Help me to give my students new books that they haven't read or haven't been read to the point of falling apart.

My Captain Underpant books are either checked out or are needing pages put in. Pokemon has became really popular at school and I can't keep the books I have on the shelves. I need some new books.
