My students are encouraged to read as much as they can, as often as they can. At such a critical time when many students report a decline in reading for pleasure, it is crucial that my students be surrounded by literature that gets them excited to read. However, being a first-year teacher, my classroom library is sparse. I am so lucky to be surrounded by a staff and administration that is dedicated to and passionate about literacy, but as it stands, my literature budget is the same as veteran teachers, which means that my students have access to far fewer books right within the classroom than do the students of veteran teachers. This project will help build our classroom library. Many of the books have been requested by name by my students on our "Classroom Library Wishlist" so it would be so cool to see them get exactly what they wished for! What a way to not only make them feel special but to get them reading voraciously!
