Ravenous Readers Need New Books

Help me give my students new and exciting books for our classroom library.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ellberg's classroom raised $230

This project is fully funded

My Project

Donations to this project will not only enhance our classroom library but also help students with their literacy skills such as fluency and comprehension. I am asking for multiple copies of some titles in order to read with groups of students in literature circles.

Your help will allow my students to experience literature at their level.

This is exactly what they need (along with instruction) for them to become better readers. By giving our class new books you will help me help them to learn to read and enhance their love of reading!

This will have lasting impacts on the lives of my students by cultivating their already existing love of reading and hopefully create lifelong independent readers.
