My Project

Woohoo! Our love for reading is CONTAGIOUS! Within our classroom community, my students come from very diverse backgrounds! I teach two classrooms of immersion learners, which means they get half of their day in English and half of their school day in Spanish. They are eager learners and just as eager to read, read, read!

We are requesting two bookstations to organize their absolute favorite chapter book series!

These students thoroughly enjoy recommending books to their classmates but have had a difficult time reading multiple books in a series. My goal is to build a classroom library with multiple series the students can dive into from start to finish.

My students are absolute rockstars and try to get their hands on as many books as possible. We would be forever grateful if we could add some of their favorite book titles to our classroom library. They are excited to get lost in books from some of their favorite authors!

Mrs. Smith will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by June 7.
