Ready to Read the Books Are All We Need!

Help me give my students a class set of books so my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sorensen's classroom raised $359

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time. Materials requested here will allow me to design lessons that directly address the following NVAC standards: RL.3.10 and RI.3.10
