My Project

I would love to add some favorite books (requested by the students) to my classroom library. Our school library is wonderful, but with all of the students school-wide using the library, it's hard for some of my students to check out their favorite books.

I would like to provide a variety of books for the students in my classroom that are both entertaining and academic.

My students love to read and they get disappointed when they can't check out a book that they've been waiting for in the library. Thank you for helping my students to receive the books they love to read.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Ragsdale

Mrs. Ragsdale Allen Bowden Elementary School Grades 3-5
