The Fourth Grade Traveling Novel Study Library

Help me give my students and our entire grade 4 student body a traveling novel study class set of "Because of Winn Dixie" and "The Wild Robot".

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sugimoto's classroom raised $585

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a result of Covid-19, budgeting, and online resources, our school has closed its library for the past 3 years and will be closing its doors indefinitely. Most of our current 4th graders and upcoming 4th graders have never been able to borrow chapter books from school.

Please help our six 4th grade homerooms provide our students with a traveling novel study collection.

We currently have 4 classroom novel sets and would love to expand our collection so that each homeroom could have a book in rotation. We know our students would love to read "Because of Winn Dixie" and "The Wild Robot".
