My students need 49 books, including "The Lemonade War", "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH", "The City of Ember" and "Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery".
My 4th grade class is comprised of students from low-income, diverse socioeconomic backgrounds who may not be exposed to the rich variety of books that are available. My classroom environment allows students to grow, become independent, gain confidence and ultimately learn to be active community members.
We have LOW readers! Our reading scores reflect the challenge that we have to help each and every one of our students become better readers. We need books to help them learn, grow and succeed!
Most of my students cannot afford to have new books, so as a teacher, it is my responsibility to expose them to the adventures of reading! I need to develop the selection of books in my classroom library so that each child can benefit from a wide array of literature available.
Please help to bring an important love of books to all of my students. You will make it possible for my students to have access to books that they would not normally get to have. Please help us!
