Ms. Traber from Saratoga, CA is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Reading is Cool!

Help me give my students some books! I have a very limited classroom library, and with state testing around the corner. They could use some things to do with technology!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Traber's classroom raised $210

My Project

My current classroom library is limited with many of the books currently on the shelf being of no interest to my high schoolers enough to pick them up. With state testing around the corner, my students could use something to escape reality and practice their reading!

Students are unable to use any technology following state testing, so improving my library was something that seemed logical to me to give them a variety of activities to choose from once they finished testing!

I selected books that are age-appropriate, that I have personally read, and that I think will draw them in.
