My Project

I want to promote “reading for fun” for my amazing group of 9th grade English students and International Newcomer students. My wish is to provide them access to a variety of high-interest novels in hopes of sparking a love for reading!

I would like to start Literary Circle activities with my students to engage them with reading novels of their choice.

A classroom library would allow students the freedom to choose what they want to read right off the shelves in their classroom. These kids are so deserving of brand new books and any donation would be greatly appreciated.
