Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader!

Help me give my students more books to read at their level! We loop and my kids have gone through most of the books we have in the classroom!

My Project

I have the most amazing group of third graders! At my school we loop with our classes, so this is my second year with the same group of kiddos. This group loves to read, and we have gone through almost all of the books in our classroom.

My kids could read all day, and these books would help make that possible!

We will be using these books for our book clubs, independent reading time and for kids to borrow and read at home.

Thanks for providing my students with the opportunity to read all of these new chapter book series!
