My Project

As a fourth-grade teacher, I have the pleasure of working with a group of incredibly enthusiastic and insatiable readers. My students are always eager to dive into new books, and it is truly heartwarming to watch them explore different genres and characters. However, our classroom library is in need of fresh, exciting titles to keep up with their growing love of reading. That’s why I am requesting a variety of books, including beloved series like Percy Jackson, The Candy Shop Wars, and The Last Kids on Earth, as well as other enticing titles. These series are perfect for sparking the imagination of my students and helping them develop a deeper love for reading.

Many of my students have already devoured everything in our current library, and they are craving more books that match their adventurous spirit.

With these new additions, I hope to provide them with diverse options that will challenge them while also keeping them engaged. Books like Percy Jackson offer rich mythology and themes of friendship and bravery, while The Candy Shop Wars brings in magical realism and mystery. The Last Kids on Earth series is perfect for those who enjoy action-packed stories with relatable characters. By adding these titles to our classroom library, I will be able to nurture their reading habits and keep them excited about learning. Thank you for considering helping us build a library that fuels their passion for reading!
