As a first-year teacher, we often spend quite a bit of our own money ensuring we are creating an inviting and innovative classroom environment to cultivate a positive culture of learning and growth. I want to be able to achieve that with a bang! No matter their backgrounds, reading can offer an escape from any negativity and be a place for one's imagination to soar! I chose to create a project to begin my classroom library so that I can engage my students and encourage them to read across genres. I am excited to create a classroom library that will peak the interests of my students and get them excited and motivated about reading.
