My Project

Hi, my name is Ms. Wittmann and I teach third-grade students at a school in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I am looking for support and help to be able to purchase chapter books that represent the students I teach. My classroom is filled with beautiful children from various cultures, ethnicities, and backgrounds. I want ALL of my students to have access to high-interest chapter books with characters on the cover that look like them. I also want to provide more diverse literature in my classroom library for independent reading. Please help me bring this idea to life!
