My Project

This year I am moving up to teach 5th grade and while I was fortunate enough to inherit an entire classroom library when I began teaching 3rd grade, most of the books will not be appropriate for 5th grade readers. I've been scouring thrift stores to find interesting, up to date and diverse books for my students but I've quickly realized that doing so is expensive. On the other hand I am so excited to build a library specific to the students at my school and in my class.

If you feel inclined and have the resources, help me create a beautiful library for my students to chose from!

Whether it's funds to cover one book or an entire book set, I am grateful for your support.
