  • Too Many Bookshelves, Not Enough Books: Part 2

    Funded Mar 6, 2020

    Thank you so much for funding our book project! With this project, we were able to replace two of our ancient Kindle tablets, as well as stock our bookshelves.

    Providing a variety of books for my students is so incredibly important. Several of the titles are for our district's reading contest, Name That Book. Team members from different classrooms will be able to check the books out from our classroom library.

    There is nothing better than seeing my students open a new book and watching them experience a new journey through reading. Thank you for being part of that adventure.”

  • Too Many Bookshelves, Not Enough Books!

    Funded Mar 2, 2020

    Thank you so much for donating to my fourth grade classroom. Being able to offer a variety of literature, in both paper and electronic form, is extremely important for my students.

    Having new Kindles added to our classroom has been amazing. I love that each student is able to have their own tablet in class to use for reading, audiobooks, and other activities.

    Even though my students are older, picture books are so important. Picture books are a great way to introduce new ideas and diverse characters to the class.

    Thank you again for your support.”
