My Project

Having a very wide academic range of students, it can be very hard to find books that fit the needs of all of them. Books are a necessity when it comes to classroom supplies. As you probably know, books are a very expensive classroom supply. Please help us with this expense.

The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading.

My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.

With a wider range of books, my students will not have to limit themselves to the books that I have. My students love finding new books! We all would be so thankful to receive new books that they can get excited over!
