Take Home Library For Excited Readers

Help me give my students a library of books that they can borrow for at home reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lewis's classroom raised $896

This project is fully funded

My Project

I teach kindergarten through fifth grader multilingual learners. They are always excited about reading new books and would love to have books that they can borrow! My students and their families are excited to support their literacy at home, but we need supplies.

My students will take these books home during the week and over the weekend.

The canvas book bags will help students keep track of their books. Finally, these leveled books will ensure that students can borrow books that are not too easy and not too hard. Families will be able to support their students without having to buy new books.
