Help me give my students chapter books for our classroom library that will crate lifelong readers.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruiz's classroom raised $224
This project is fully funded
My Students
The students in my class face several challenges both in and out of the classroom as our school is located in a high poverty neighborhood. Despite any challenges they may face, my hope is that in our school, we provide high quality and meaningful learning experiences.
The goal is for students to be excited to come to school everyday and to be consistently and actively engaged.
Creating a classroom that is welcoming and comfortable for students is a major priority.
My Project
These chapter books will be used in our classroom library. The goal is to create lifelong readers.
It is so important to provide students with books that excite them.
I have seen such joy in students when they pick up a good book that keeps their attention. Watching students find enjoyment from a good book is such an amazing thing to see. Many of my students are unable to get to the public library and many do not have a lot of books at home. These books would make our library so inviting to students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
