We Love Piggie And Gerald!

My students need Piggie and Gerald books to enjoy in our classroom library and at home.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Smirk's classroom raised $349

This project is fully funded

My Students

Moe Willems has created several of my students favorite characters and Piggie and Gerald top the list.

There are 18 energetic three and four year old children in my class.

Our school includes students from pre-k to eighth grade. It is in a high poverty area and about 95% of the students in the school receive free lunch. Our school is in a low-income neighborhood where the budget cuts have left no hope that materials will be purchased in the near future.

My Project

This project will provide my students with copies of four different Piggie and Gerald books for my classroom library. I have several different stories with these beloved characters in our library. These books are some of my students' favorite books so I really want to make sure I have every Piggie and Gerald book. I am also requesting 18 copies of two of the books "I am Going" and "Lets go for a Ride" to give to my students so that they can own some of the books they have learned to love while in my class.

There is nothing like reading a good book!

My students have found books they love so much they can't put them down. I want to ensure they are surrounded by these books at school and at home.
