There Are Never Too Many Books

Help me give my students more amazing books for the library in my classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McGrath's classroom raised $355

My Project

I am back asking for more books. My classroom library is full of amazing books, and there are so many more to offer my students.

Young people growing up in our digital landscape struggle to harness the necessary time and focus it takes to read a novel, but when they get that time in class, and we clear away some of the digital clutter, amazing moments happen.

Each semester my students choose their own books to read for an independent reading project. This semester, I want to see what happens when they chose a book together.
