Unlocking the Magic of Reading

Help me give my students brand new beautiful books! This year I want to create a classroom full of avid readers and these books will help me introduce them to the magical world of reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gabrielli's classroom raised $471

My Project

I love my students' curiosity, enthusiasm, and unique perspectives. They are always eager to explore new ideas and stories.

Providing them with these books will not only spark their imaginations but also enhance their literacy skills, critical thinking, and empathy.

These books will open up new worlds for them, helping to foster a lifelong love of reading and learning.

My main goal this year is to create a classroom full of students who love to read. I want to show them how much fun reading can be. I want to show them how you can escape into a good book.

My students are so special because they come from all sorts of different backgrounds. They each bring so much character into the classroom. They, more than anyone, deserve good books.
