My Project

Reading is such an important part of learning because it opens our minds to different worlds and thinking about things in a whole new way. This is why my classroom library needs more books that my students can use to read. These books will help my students to not only learn how to read but they will also help my students to start their love of reading, which is so important. These amazing books, such as Dog Man and Harry Potter, will help my students to build on their imagination and their critical thinking skills. Please support this amazing project.

Please help me give my students books for our classroom library because these books will help to keep my students engaged in reading during the school day.
