Help Ms. Ofstie

I teach sixth grade English as a Second Language (ESL) in a very poor area of Brooklyn, NY. My students come from many different countries around the world, such as Haiti, Pakistan, Mexico, Uzbekistan, Panama, the Dominican Republic, and Bangladesh. My students are beginning-level English language learners. I would like a class set of the book "The Old Farmer's Almanac for Kids" for my class. I received one copy of this book from my school, and it is so fabulous that I would love to have a copy for every student in my class. It is full of fascinating facts, stories, fun activities, and wacky tales about weather, sports, pets, history, gardening, astronomy, farming, nature, etc. This book would be especially beneficial for my class because it includes full-color photographs on every page, and the reading level is easy enough for them to understand. It would really help them on upcoming tests, since it is non-fiction reading and the tests these days focus mostly on non-fiction texts. Please help my students enjoy reading and help improve their non-fiction reading skills! Thank you.
