Reading Rocks!

Help me give my students new exciting books to read and share in class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sergeant's classroom raised $192

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are first graders. By this time in the year most of them are reading!

I want to give them new books to practice their reading.

I have been giving them books to take home and read, but now our supply is running low.

Some of these books are old favorites, like Judy Blume's Fudge series. I read the first on to them and then they want to know about Fudge and his adventures.

We all know reading is the most important tool we give children in school. Please help me get these children off to a great start!
