S.O.S: Chapter Books Needed!

Help me give my students dynamic chapter books for our growing classroom library!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Friedl's classroom raised $381

My Project

We need chapter books for our classroom!

I wanted to select chapter books that were both dynamic & engaging, while having characters that represent my students' diversity!

My students are adventurous, answer seekers and problem solvers and I wanted books that mirror their curiosities and passions. I tried to select books that would inspiring them as well as challenge them both academically and also socially (thinking outside the box)! I picked series of books so students could follow characters they have grown to love into new adventures. I never liked reading as a younger student and I think it was because I never found that series that was engaging enough with my interests. Because of that, I want to curate options that will allow students to indulge in adventure and become enthralled with reading!
