My Project

Please help me expand my classroom library by adding these books with a range of characters of diverse backgrounds. My 4th grade students love to read, and I want them to feel represented in our classroom library. The stories about different holidays will also allow my students to learn about cultures other than their own, which is extremely important.

I pride myself in making my classroom feel like home for my students, and these books and supplies will help me continue to do just that.

Thank you for considering us and for helping me give my 4th graders the classroom they deserve!
