Seeing Yourself In Books

Help me give my students more books to read and opportunities to see themselves within the books.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Soucy's classroom raised $816

This project is fully funded

My Project

My goal is to have students be able to pick 5-10 books each week to read. My current classroom library only has the availability for 2-3 books. Having books that inspire their creativity, imagination, and enjoyment of reading is important to have in a classroom library. It is also important to have books that represent many different cultures.

Having these cultures represented in a positive light and showing that everyone can be great and successful.

Building a classroom library that meets these needs is important. These books will be going into the classroom library and be the start of my goal.
