These books will help my students become emersed in the written words of authors that look like them. They will be able to see themselves in stories and make real-world connections. Every book added to our classroom library will be treated with respect and be well cared for. I want them to be able to pick a book with different races and cultures represented and really connect with the story. I want them to have access to new and relevant material. New books will provide my students with a variety of characters and allow them choices for independent reading time. I need new books so that they can find new and interesting things to read and learn about. This project will really enrich our classroom library and expose them to different authors, genres, and just words in general.
