My Project

This is the first year I have taught in a classroom without a book display shelf. New classroom, new grade, new furniture. I have noticed that my classroom library just isn’t getting my students’ attention like it used to. What is going on?

And then it hit me, they can’t see the book covers!

All the books are tucked away in bins and sorted neatly and there they stay. I have stuffies and beanbags and fun reading accessories but still, little engagement. They say, “don’t judge a book by its cover,” but guess what… first graders still do.

Help me bring some book covers to my classroom library and engage these budding readers to pick up a new book. Plus a few first grade fave reading buddies.
