Our Library Shelves Are Lonely & Need Friends

Help me give my students new classroom library books to enhance their love of reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. D'Agostino's classroom raised $704

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our classroom has varying levels of readers who all have a great LOVE of books! During COVID-19, many of our books were sent home for students to enjoy with their families. During this time and due to circumstances beyond our control, many of our books were damaged or not returned to school. It is CLASSROOM LIBRARY REBUILDING TIME!

We are excited to have brand new books for our first graders to read; books that will capture their attention, motivate them, help them become stronger readers, use their imaginations, help improve their writing skills and MORE!

With fresh new reading options, our students will have more opportunities to strengthen comprehension skills and even increase their writing skills. Having a variety of books and genres also provides students with more options to fit their particular interests and reading level needs.
