My Project

All of the requested books will go towards building a more diverse read-aloud library for all students to access. Our goal is to expose students to different types of text. This comes in the form of learning about other cultures, the natural world, and different genres.

The students in our small rural school rarely have the chance to experience other points of view, and these books will help us bring the world to them.

We can't wait to share all of these powerful stories with our third-grade students.

Mrs. Pangburn will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by April 15.
