Empty Shelves Need Books

Help me give my students a love for reading. Our class desperately needs books. These sets will accommodate everyone in our class. I am asking for the most popular sets for fourth grade.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am teaching at a new school this year. My classroom does not have any books. I am shopping at thrift stores to supply my students with books, but need your help.

Please contribute and buy my students much needed books.

New books could help a reluctant student become an avid reader. Reading is the most essential aspect of a students education.

Please fill our classroom shelves with exciting books both nonfiction and fiction. Help students explore new worlds, learn about different cultures, expanding their interests, and fall in love with Reading.
