Help me give my students a needed classroom library since we only have textbooks and I know how important reading is for leisure for my students.

My Project

I am a 26 year veteran school teacher who is in need of a classroom library. I recently move to 4th grade and the classroom only has textbooks. There are absolutely no books for independent leisure reading for my students. Independent leisure reading is a crucial asset to any classroom because children typically read for fun every day in a classroom setting. We have been in school for a week now, and students immediately started asking where are the class story books?

Any donation from my list would be a tremendous help to our class.

Please support our 4th graders with a classroom library of must-have books!
