My Project

Our current "classroom library" consist of about 20 titles I brought from home (these empty bookshelves can seem daunting to me as a first-year teacher). About ten of these are Goosebumps titles, which the students absolutely love, but they'd like something different now after a few months of re-reading "The Blob That Ate Everyone" for the fifteenth time.

I defend my students' right to fun and relevant books ferociously.

If funded, this project will provide my students with nearly 100 new titles featuring relevant and fun content! Let's get curating.
