My classroom is in need of high-interest, engaging books. We don't have a school library, so I struggle to keep books in our classroom library. Funding this project would put more books into students' hands and provide students with more options for their daily independent reading. Every item in my cart was carefully selected based on my students' interests. These engaging, high-interest books will build literacy skills and help instill a love of lifelong reading. These books will be utilized in my classroom immediately because students are reading every day. Without these resources, my students do not have a sufficient selection and supply of books necessary to prepare them for high school and beyond. Because of your generous donations, my students will be able to work on improving their reading and literacy skills.
