New Books for Our Classroom Library

Help me give my students a variety of new books for our classroom library and bookmarks.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gutierrez's classroom raised $207

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My first graders are motivated students who come to school each day with a smile and ready to learn. They enjoy our reading area and snuggling up with a book buddy. I'd like to replenish some books in our library, which is why I'd like to get new books on social emotional topics to boost emotional growth. I'd also like a new set of The Magic Tree House books for our classroom library. The students love this book series and our current copies are bent, torn and have been given too much TLC. To help students keep their spot in the books they're reading I'd also like to provide them with bookmarks. By supporting our project you are helping to highlight the love of reading in my classroom and truly making an impact on the literacy development of my students!
