Some students are born bookworms while others over time become bookworms, but what makes a bookworm a bookworm is the love of reading. I try to provide my students with as many opportunities to read in my classroom as possible, all the while providing them with books of interest; however, this becomes hard to do when I am limited in the books that I have in my classroom. The books I currently have in my classroom are all donated and without those donations I wouldn't have a classroom library at all. As I have more students approach me with different book choices they would like to read, of course as a teacher I would like to provide those choices for them but with the lack of funds it is impossible to do so. I would love to continue my classroom library and help my students to continue to grow their love for reading or to find their love for reading. As a bookworm myself I could not picture a world where I didn't have the opportunity to jump into the next book.
