My Project

My fourth-grade classroom is full of bright, clever students, and as their teacher, I want to foster a healthy love of reading. One of my most special memories as a kid in school was when my class would read The Polar Express in the wintertime. We got to drink hot chocolate in class, and reading felt like a special activity I got to look forward to. Getting my class copies of books, like The Polar Express, will give my students a reason to get excited about reading. Unfortunately, this generation of students reads at historically low levels, and few read for fun. I want them to feel the same joy that I felt when I was in school with a new reading nook. I'm looking for materials to completely transform their classroom and educational experience. Your support will help put over 40 young scholars on a path to success that includes a strong relationship with reading!

This project will transform my classroom from a mundane space into a magical oasis where reading is fun and exciting.

Having a space where learning is treated as a fun experience makes school a more memorable experience, so having games that the children can play together will help foster this feeling. With a new bookshelf, we will have space to hold all of the books we can get our hands on. My students helped me decide on which books to add to the list to make sure these new books will be read and cherished. With a little help we can make a devoted space made for fostering a foundation in reading. My students showed such a bright and curious level of excitement over this project; your contribution can enrich their love of reading in a way that they will never forget.
