My Project

My young students are constantly learning and growing stronger as readers. As they read more complex texts, their preferences are also changing. Each week my students have the opportunity to borrow from our classroom library to support their continued literacy development. The classroom rug will be a perfect addition to our classroom. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to store all of their individual collections beyond keeping everything in their desks. Doing so significantly decreases the lifespan of each book. I am looking for magazine-style book bins to hold each child's individual library as well as larger bins to house books in our library. They are currently all standing on shelves.
