The fundamental joy of reading and \"getting lost in a book\" comes last in most classrooms today.\r\n\r\nHowever, with the help that you have provided, my students will have access to engaging novels that will inspire them- give them a starting point to find that love of reading or at least an appreciation of it. \r\n\r\nThanks so much for what you have donated to the classroom. I opened some boxes yesterday and the kids were in line to \"interview\" them.
