Themed Books to Build Our Classroom Library

Help me give my students these themed books to encourage a love of reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Santelli's classroom raised $277

This project is fully funded

My Project

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read about my project.

Instead of having the same books out all year, I would like to continue building a collection of themed books that are engaging and appropriate for kindergarten.

During our time in kindergarten, the children learn about the seasons, and non-fiction books were recently funded in another DonorsChoose project. To continue building our library, it would be great to have a collection of fiction Easter and spring-themed books. By having these books, the children will be exposed to rich texts that will encourage a love of reading.
