New Exciting Books

Help me give my students new exciting books for them to enjoy and devour.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Silva's classroom raised $685

This project is fully funded

My Project

We focus on reading skills as the basis for students to be successful both academically and in life. As part of that effort, we require them to read at school and at home. Of course, this is much easier to accomplish when we have new books for them to peruse and enjoy.

Through this project, I will be able to supply lots of new exciting books to our students and hopefully keep them engaged in their reading.

There's not much that rivals the experience of getting to see a student really enjoy a book and thus learn the joy of reading.
