Shelves of Possibility: Organizing for a Love of Reading

Help me give my students new bookshelves that would make a big difference in our classroom by helping them easily access a wider variety of books.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ocampo's classroom raised $635

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

New bookshelves would be a total game-changer for our classroom! Right now, our books are overflowing, and it can be hard for students to find what they’re looking for. With new shelves, our classroom library would be more organized, inviting, and easier for students to explore. Imagine the excitement on their faces when they can actually see all the amazing books waiting for them! It would spark even more interest in reading and help create a space where students feel inspired to dive into new stories every day! It also helps create a cozy and functional reading space where students can explore new genres and develop a love for reading.
