Opening Doors for a Reading Life!

Help me give my students another year of fresh titles for our Classroom Book a Day Adventure! Students will surely be readers because of all the great titles they have had the opportunity to be exposed to!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Beaudin's classroom raised $644

My Project

We have the most beautiful school with amazing students! We live in the Adirondacks and many of our students have limited resources. This does not stop them! They are sponges of new knowledge and seek out opportunities to grow their brains! We started Classroom Book a Day in both 4th and 5th grades! It has been life changing! Next year, I want to continue to introduce new books as part of Classroom Book a Day and I want my 5th graders to have the opportunity to hear a whole NEW 180 book titles, minus a few must reads! I want to create dynamic lessons that pair with these outstanding pieces of literature. I have collected many of the titles but I am lacking these and I would be beyond appreciative of anyone that helps us meet our goal!
