My Students

Our classroom is a place full of opportunities. Our students come in each day not knowing where their learning will take them. They are eager to learn. With these books, not only can we continue exploring the world through technology, but we can explore through our library.

Our class loves to read all types of books!

They are often reading 2 books at a time, while listening to a book in read aloud! They love fiction and non-fiction, but something they really love... are graphic novels!

My Project

Our kids love to read! They especially love to read graphic novels. While DonorsChoose.org is matching donations for books, why not put together a project to get some more graphic novels for our class!

When we first introduced the book El Deafo to our class, it went around from seat sack to seat sack with a wait list longer than you could imagine!

Every kid read in our class read it and loved it.

We want to help our kids fall in love with even more graphic novels before the year is over. Help us bring more books to our library!
