My Project

I am a second year teacher in need of grade level books for my students a place for them to read. With the items I am able to have books for the kids that are on their level and a place to read. Other items are for working with students who are not able to read yet and I work with every day! Please help me make my dream come true of helping kids explore reading and go into different worlds. With kids falling in love with books we are able to get them of the computers and a step into imagination.
