My Students

My students live in Nashville, TN, but come from all over the world. Our classroom is in a unique school filled with students of various backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities. Together these students strive for academic excellence by living out our core values everyday: responsibility, respect, empathy, persistence, and gratitude.

We have so many students on different levels and need high quality library books to meet all of their needs.

I have seen my students' eagerness to learn take off when they find that perfect book. With your help, we could stock up on a variety of books to meet each child’s optimum learning level.

My Project

These books will reach my students at their reading level. They will be so excited to see these different chapter books and series in their library. Some of the classics, such as Charlotte's Web, will be used for guided reading lessons. My students absolutely love diving deep into books that were my favorite as a child.

With these new books, my students will become fervent readers, passionate about learning.

With the variety of books in this project, my students will have the opportunity to choose which books interest them most. These books will become the very ones that create their love of reading all thanks to you!
