My Project

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

"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 with reading, and these graphic novels are going to do the trick! I've added more Cat Ninja books (I know the kids will love these) and "The Squad" and "Time Buddies"--which are sure to be a hit. We are on our way to becoming great readers and your support is crucial to that goal. Thank you for considering our project!
