Hi my name is Jodi Selle. I teach 2nd grade in a rapidly growing district outside of Chicago, IL. In my class alone, I have thirty students. My class is made up of special needs children, English language learners, and even students with 'gifted' abilities. It is very difficult for me to purchase materials to reach the needs of everyone. If I were given financial assistance, I would expand my book collection. It would be wonderful to have a variety of children's books at every reading level. I would appreciate any assistance.
