New Books for Growing Readers!

My students need new chapter books to expand their love of reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brown's classroom raised $526

This project is fully funded

My Students

We are a Title 1 school in Cambridge, that pulls students from Cambridge and Boston. We love to play, explore, and explain our thinking to prove a point. We like to use technology to help us learn and grow.

We love to read chapter books!

Series like The Magic Tree House, Flat Stanley, Cam Jansen, and Nate the Great are some of our favorites! Unfortunately, our classroom library does not have many of the books we love, and many of our books are not in great condition. We would be so excited to travel further into our book series with new books!

My Project

My 2nd graders love to read, and are now able to read chapter books! They are starting to find series that they enjoy, but our classroom library does not have many titles in the same series. My students would be so excited to continue reading series they already love!

Most students in our classroom do not have many books at home, so the classroom library is the go-to place for new books.

Please help my students continue to grow their love of reading, by providing them with series they already love, and new books to explore and share with friends!
