Kindergarten Readers Need Good Storage!

My Students

"Go get a book to read!" How many times a day do I say this? It would be much easier for my kids to find a good book if we had a new bookshelf and book bins.

My students are the best!

They are bright, inquisitive, hilarious, smart, and LOVE to read!! Our school is in a semi-urban area just outside of our downtown. My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and bring with them a wide variety of experiences. Some have been in school before, but many have not. I love exposing them to many types of books and watching their love of reading blossom.

My Project

We will use this bookshelf and book bins to organize and store books in our classroom. The bins will be labeled so students can easily find books that are on their level or interest. Right now all the books are on a shelf that only I can access. I can't wait to move them to a more accessible location and allow my students to get their own books! I know it will make them love reading even more than they already do!

Your donations will help our class tremendously!

It will help organize our classroom library and makes books more accessible to my students. I can't wait to see their faces when I tell them that they get to choose their own books. I know they will be so excited to have these resources in our classroom!
