My Project

I would like to give each of my students a book for the holidays. Books are magical and I'd like to share the magic with my class. Students love the "I Survived" series and I'd like to encourage their love of reading by gifting them each their own book to keep.

Help give my students their own book for the holidays.

Not everyone gets the opportunity to have a gift each year, so I want to give my students something to take home with them. A book helps keep students engaged in learning, enhances their literacy skills, and promotes a love for reading.

It also provides a sense of continuity between school and home, offering a fun and festive way to build upon what they’ve learned in class. For many students, having a book at home during the holidays can inspire creativity, foster family reading time, and contribute to their overall academic growth.
