My students love to read! I am constantly upgrading the books in my classroom to encourage them to continue reading. Right now, I have a few boxes of brand new books that I do not have room for. These books are not being used, because I don't have a place to put them. A high standing bookshelf would give these books a much needed home. Students would look forward to sitting on comfy bean bag chairs as they read their favorite stories. Many of my students take library books out to recess with them or ask to stay in the room to read. I would love to give them a little library that is comfortable and looks appealing. The students in my class who struggle to like reading would really be inspired by a new space in the classroom. I think they would be motivated to get grab a book, sit in a comfy bean bag chair, and fall in love with a book. Creating a love for learning and reading is a personal goal of mine, as a teacher.
