My Project

As a diverse learner teacher in a city school district, it is important to establish a love of reading in my students. Many times, my students struggle to find a "just right" book and they are easily discouraged when it comes to reading. One way to inspire my readers is by have an inviting classroom library. Colorful book bins, flexible seating, and a variety of books options is one way to encourage and support my readers.

A warm, inviting library will encourage and support my 2nd and 3rd grade readers.

It is important to me as a diverse learner teacher, that my students not only feel comfortable in the space they are reading in, but that they have access to a variety of books they enjoy reading. These additions to my classroom library, will support readers of all levels and help set the foundation for a love of reading. This is the first step in establishing life-long readers!
