Help me give my students basic supplies like pencils, post-its, and new books!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Taura's classroom raised $576

My Project

It's spring time and my students are buzzing with excitement! We are thriving, know each other well, and are ready to take our academics to the next level before summer. We need basic supplies like new pencils and post-it notes to support us in writing, and exciting new books to keep us motivated to read!

Many of my students have moved up reading levels and our classroom library needs new books.

This project includes many books for developing readers that have stronger characters. Many students this year are into Super Hero books so I included many of those. Some of my students are ready for 4th grade and need more challenging books, so those are included as well.
