One of my greatest joys as an educator is watching my students develop a love and passion for reading. I believe that reading opens doors, builds bridges, expands minds, connects, and unites us. My hope for my students is that their first introduction to a classroom library is one that opens their hearts and minds to all that reading has to offer. I want my classroom library to reflect the diversity, the beauty, and the experiences of each one of my students. With your help in reaching my $500 dollar goal I will be able to build my very first classroom library! With these books I will help my students develop their reading skills, use their imagination, and learn more about the world around them. Thank you for your support as I start my first year as a Kindergarten teacher! With love and gratitude, Ms. Gama
