My Project

"A book is a dream you hold in your hand." - Neil Gaiman

We love books in our classroom!

We read for a half hour every day. Without our independent reading time, my students feel unfulfilled. Books transport us to new worlds and give us new dreams to chase.

"Once upon a time lasts forever." - Philip Pullman

My students need a vibrant, modern, and engaging classroom library. It takes new books to stay excited about reading, and these graphic novels are going to do the trick! There are so many books for my amazing group of 4th-grade readers including books several series including I Survived, Babysitter's Little Sister, and Emmy & Friends. My students love reading book series.

I've also requested some age-appropriate scary books--not necessarily part of my wheelhouse, but a lot of students like them and have been requesting more scary books for our library. There are a lot of books in this project; with over 30 books, there has to be something for everyone.

We are on our way to becoming great readers, and your support is crucial to that goal. Thank you for considering our project!
