Reading Is Awesome

Help me give my students an opportunity to read some great titles for both small/whole group reading. The Crossover by Kwame Alexander has quickly grown to be my middle school student favorite book to read.

My Project

I love that my students are eager to learn and they love coming to school. I want to help provide a safe place for them to learn, read, and grow into some awesome human beings. I am asking for these books so that I can expose my students to quality literature. These books will be apart of our school's initiative to stop drop and read. These books will be used during their class time as novel studies. Each student will receive a book to read and be able to participate in literacy circles and small group book projects. Thank you in advance for your donation.
