My Project

As a 6th grade ELA teacher, I have the pleasure of teaching some of the most curious and creative students around. My students are at an age where they are beginning to develop their own unique interests and are eager to explore new ideas and perspectives. They are always looking for new books to read that will challenge them, broaden their horizons, and spark their imaginations.

Unfortunately, our school does not have a library and our classroom bookshelves are in desperate need of new, engaging books that will capture our students' attention and help them develop a love for reading.

Many of our students rely on our classroom library and school resources to access the books they need to succeed.

This is where your support can make a real difference. By donating to our classroom, you will help us to provide our students with a wider range of books that are age-appropriate, high-quality, and engaging. These books will not only help our students to develop their literacy skills but will also inspire them to explore new topics, think critically, and become lifelong learners.

Your donations will enable us to create a classroom library that is diverse, inclusive, and reflective of our students' interests and backgrounds. With your help, we can ensure that every student has access to the books they need to succeed and thrive.

Thank you for considering our classroom, and we hope that you will join us in our mission to instill a love for reading in our students.

Sincerely,

Ms. Gallagher
