Help me give my students their own copy of the book "Frindle" which we are reading this as a class but currently students can only hear this as a read aloud.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach in Title I school that has a new designation as STEM Magnet for our district. My students are mostly English Language Learners with the most predominant language Spanish. However, we have about 12 different languages across campus at any given time. I have the privilege of teaching science and math all day long! On any given week, I see approximately 100-200 students in our STEM lab for Science and Engineering lessons. All lessons are hands-on and utilize Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) as the basis of advancing our students' English skills both academically and conversationally.
My Project
Currently, my students and I are only able to use our classroom novel "Frindle" as a read a loud over Zoom. I would love for each student to have their own copy so that we can create literature circles where students can refer back to the text, learn to cite passages from the text, and use the text as mentor text for writing assignments.
I firmly believe that students need to to touch a book and turn the pages with their own hands.
Continuously reading only for a computer is not an ideal way to learn, specifically if you are trying to learn English at the same time. I would love to give my students this book as a gift to keep in their own personal library after we have finished our literature unit.
More than half of students from low‑income households
