My Project

I was recently transferred to a new classroom where our library needs a little help. They're aren't many books for out students to read in class and to take home for our lending library program. The lending library gives our kiddos the opportunity to take books home weekly to share with their families.

We try to stress the importance of reading at an early age.

We want our kiddos to develop a love for reading and have their families involved with it. The books in this project will help us have a variety of books in our library.

Ms. Rittinger will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 21.
