Surviving Thanks to Great Books!

Help me give my students new books that complete several different series and a new Girls Survive series since they love the I Survived Series.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. DePrez Campbell's classroom raised $1,002

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love reading, especially the I Survived books and other graphic novels. Recently we heard about the Girls Survive Series and are so excited to have another new series to add to our collection! We also have been wanting to finish off some of our series where we haven't added the latest books in the series. So many students love having a chance to check out books from our classroom library because as they often joke with our librarian our room has some of the cool new books you haven't even gotten in yet!

Our goal is to create lifelong readers who love reading and will continue to read even when it isn't a requirement.

Having new books for them to choose from always helps build excitement and sometimes a student who hasn't been as excited will find a series that draws them in for the first time! I want my students to have an escape from these books from all of the screen time and stress of everyday life! Please help me continue to encourage my readers as many check books out from me for 3 to 4 years during their elementary school career, so I always need to keep my classroom library fresh and up to date!
