My Project

Help! We just want to add to our classroom library.

That’s why I’m asking for your help to build my classroom library with culturally relevant books for my students.

These books will make up my classroom library, where students will choose their own book for our daily independent reading time. Students will take comprehension tests after after completing a book, that help us determine their reading level and help me to identify best ways to grow my students in literacy. A little help, a little hope will go a far way. Thank you
