Take Them New Places with New Books

Help me give my students new, exciting and interesting books to improve their reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Morfin's classroom raised $528

My Project

As I begin my 10th year of teaching fourth grade, I am excited to get to know everything wonderful about my students. Getting to know a new group of students is always exciting. Right now I have 16 students in my class, 9 boys and 7 girls. They all come from varying backgrounds and have different interests. As we begin the school year, most of my students are reading below grade level. I want to get them new books that are interesting and engaging. Having these books will allow my students to increase their reading levels as well as their interest in books. Most of us have found ourselves lost in a book at some point in our lives, transported to the same place as the characters we are reading about. I want this for my students. Having books that are interesting and engaging makes students want to read more. The more students read, the more they learn and this academic progress improves all areas of their school experience.
