We Need Books to Fill Our Shelves

Help me give my students books with characters and themes that are relatable

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Wegrzynowski's classroom raised $258

This project is fully funded

My Project

All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them during the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.

With these new books, the students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.

They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
