We Need New Younger Reader Books!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Thakkar's classroom raised $348
This project is fully funded
My Students
Every day new books are published! I learn about new books and want to share them with our students. Please help us keep up with new books in children's literature.
My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the library is the place that equalizes them. We have students from around the block and around the world. We have students that are learning English and that are learning other languages. Give to a school that has many cultures, diversity, and adversity!
My Project
Our students will be exposed to new books like The Missing Mouse, Lana's World, and Little Robot and be excited for learning in so many ways! New books speak to children in so many ways and give fresh new ideas to our students. Give our students the opportunity to read new books of their own choice to inspire and motivate their reading skills!
This donation of new books will inspire our students to read and learn new things and be open minded risk takers! Please help the library fulfill its' goal of building readers in our school.
