I am beyond grateful that you were all able to support our classroom library. When students saw the new additions for our class library their faces lit up and they screamed with joy! This third grade class loves to sit and read during their free time. They love submerging themselves in stories and they love to discuss it with their friends. One of their favorite collections is the Dog Man collection. \r\n\r\nThanks to your contribution students are reading together and spending time at our library with our books and plushies. The MerryMakers book collection was a great addition along with the plush toys. It brought the stories to life! I was able to share these pictures with our families and they were very grateful. As a new teacher, I am thankful for donors like you who support education and teachers. \r\n\r\nAs we approach our testing season, I am thankful to have these books because they will provide students with the mental break that they need from testing.
