My Project

I want to create a fresh new engaging look to our classroom library.

The multicultural fairy tales will teach students that cultures all around the world have their own stories about Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, and Rapunzel.

The students will love the new additions to their current favorite series - Who would Win?, Elephant and Piggie, and Minions. Also, the Time magazines are always a hit with all ages!

Students will also be able to relax in the beanbag chair with a Minion blanket while reading in the classroom library. Also the new pillow seats! Cozy seating will help students sustain focus for longer periods of time. I am hoping to create a sense of calm and comfort.

Thanks so much.
