Ms. A's Classroom Library

Funded Nov 18, 2018

Books are the pathways to new worlds. For students, these pathways are essential in helping them explore and build empathy for other people and experiences. When my students were given the gift of these donated books, they were able to open their eyes so many wonderful new stories.

In my classroom, independent reading takes place every single day. That means that having new books is essential. Without your support, students may have had to read the same book over. Though we were blessed with many books at the beginning of the school year, so often they are quite old, yellow, even tearing at the seems. This does not invite curiosity. No. This makes a student want to pick up his phone and get lost in the wonder of a game. These new books, on the other hand, provide that unique experience of holding something fresh, something perhaps opened for the first time, that feeling you get during Christmas time-a special gift that they want to open and explore.”

With gratitude,
