About this Campaign
Your gift would help to build my classroom library, giving access to about 100 eighth-graders in my English classroom within a Title I school (as well as future classes of students). As a teacher, keeping my classroom library filled with current, high-demand titles is really important to me in terms of keeping kids engaged in reading. Reading is one of the simplest ways we can add joy to our classrooms- especially when so many other things in the world are so uncertain right now.
In 2017 after my first Fund-a-Need was filled, I saw the power of having new and engaging books for my students to read during class. When students have struggled with finding the "right book" I am able to give book talks and recommendations from the classroom. I am greatly appreciative of the start I had building my classroom library and would love to continue adding new titles. I expanded my library through a second campaign in 2020, selecting titles recommended by students that are diverse in characters, content, and genre--including fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, and books in verse. I would love to continue that effort by expanding my library to reach more students through varied book choices- including more graphic novels, picture books, books in verse, and books that represent my diverse learners, both authors, and character representation.
Thank you for your consideration in my proposal! Requesting $500 plus cost reimbursement.
