Thanks to you, my classroom library will now be better equipped to meet the demands of young passionate readers - eager to start their next adventure! With your help, my students will not only increase their literacy skills but also their empathy and curiosity for life. Your thoughtful contribution is greatly appreciated.”
With gratitude,
Teacher Zimdahl

I am a strong believer that productive, thoughtful citizens are avid readers. In reading about diverse worlds and characters, students not only develop literacy skills but also, if not more importantly, gain empathy and compassion for others. Regardless of the subject matter, purposeful reading and writing should happen in every classroom. Unfortunately, my classroom library does not contain the amount of texts to meet the demands and passion of my young readers. These books will not only turn my current, sad "three-shelf-library" into a real classroom library, but will also reinvigorate my students' love of reading. Many of these book titles have been on my students "Someday Reading" lists for years - energized by the prospect of "someday" reading about Annes adventures in Avonlea and Huckleberry Finn's journey down the Mississippi. These books would allow them to enter new worlds and in doing so, feel less alone, more aware and better equipped to face the challenges and obstacles that may come their way.
