Obsessed With Lego Books

Help me give my students Lego Books for our Classroom Library Because they Love Them

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruiz's classroom raised $176

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students just love adding to our classroom library.

They are obsessed with reading books from the Lego series.

They are so interested by them and just absolutely love reading them. It makes such a difference when students have books that they enjoy reading and that they are motivated by. Creating a welcoming library in which students can easily find a good book is helping in creating life long readers. As I looked at Amazon for these books, my students sat with me and actually picked out the Lego books that they would love to add to our classroom library. They take such an interest in creating a wonderful library in our classroom.
