My Project

My first grade class LOVES to read, and we need new books for our classroom library! My students have grown so much as readers so far this year and my goal is to expand our classroom library to include more diverse and inclusive books for all students to read and enjoy. By helping to fund this project, you are helping 19 children become stronger readers in 1st grade and expand their love for new books and topics. Thank you for your generosity and care in helping my students and our classroom!
