My Project
In our third-grade classroom, books are more than just stories—they're windows to new worlds, tools for discovery, and bridges that connect us. New books will help my third graders grow by giving them access to stories that spark curiosity, characters they can relate to, and topics that expand their understanding of the world around them.
With fresh, engaging books at just the correct reading levels, students can build confidence, practice essential skills, and fall in love with reading.
Whether it's a funny adventure, a thought-provoking nonfiction book, or a beautifully illustrated story, each new title adds excitement to our classroom and inspires every student to learn, explore, and grow.
By filling our shelves with a diverse and inviting selection of books, you're not just building a library—you're helping to develop lifelong readers.
More than half of students from low‑income households
