My Project

Having a diverse collection of authors, from well-known to lesser-known writers, in our library will inspire my 5th-grade readers to discover books that truly connect with them.

Creating a classroom library filled with new books will encourage students to engage in book studies with partners or small groups.

I aim to guide them in becoming independent readers who appreciate the knowledge gained through discovery and wonder about our community and the world around them.

I hope you will fund my library to ensure my students have access to new books. They truly deserve this opportunity as they learn and grow.
