My Project
I love my students’ curiosity, creativity, and teamwork. In the library, I actively teach lessons, guide them through reading, puzzles, and worksheets, and help them explore new ideas every day. Many students enjoy sitting on the carpet to work with their friends during lessons and independent activities.
Our library is a busy, active learning space with a well‑loved carpet where students gather for lessons, puzzles, and teamwork.
Because it’s used so much, the carpet gets dirty quickly, which can make it harder for students to focus and stay comfortable. Having a powerful vacuum with an extra battery, plus a broom and dustpan, will help me keep the carpet clean and fresh. This will create a safe, inviting space where my students can learn, collaborate, and enjoy their library time to the fullest..
