My Project

I teach some amazing 2nd graders in a low social economic and rural area. Many of my students do not have exposure to books. My students also come from different academic backgrounds. I would like to increase my classroom library with books that can help build on their foundational reading skills as well as teaching valuable lessons.

With the struggles a lot of these kids face, I want to provide them with more literature about the importance of being kind and how to handle their emotions.

These books will provide real life application on kindness. My desire is for my students to leave my classroom a better person. Any donation will be greatly appreciated.

Reading is very vital at this age, I want to provide a wide variety of books to drive my students love for reading.
