Hello, my name is Heidi and I teach 4th-Grade at Rossiter Elementary. One of the biggest joys of teaching is seeing a student fall in love with a book. But it’s not always easy to get the right book in the hands of the right reader. Some of my students are interested in books about animals, while others love sports. Some prefer stories about kindness, and others just want to read about a captain that wears underpants! Not only are my students interested in different things, but they also all read at different levels. I can only be the teacher I want to...read more be if I can help my students become better readers. And the most effective way to do this is to put books into the hands of my students. This is why I’m asking my community to help me raise $280 for the Inspire the Love of Reading in Every Student. This collection will allow each of my 28 students to pick two books to own, read, and share. Owning a book will help my students grow their reading skills. Thanks for reading!read less
