A Legendary Library!

Help me give my students a love for reading with a new, legendary library!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. DeMartini's classroom raised $977

My Project

Starting off the 2023-2024 school year with new students... and a new grade level! At first this seemed daunting, but I am so excited! Being that I will be teaching both 6th and 8th graders, I wanted to create an inviting library space for both grade levels.

I have included new classroom furniture as well as new book titles!

I wanted to house the new books in fresh new book shelves, as well as an extra table to pull up a chair and read at! I have also carefully selected these books from a range of reading levels to ensure struggling readers' needs are met, as well as readers who are exceeding grade levels! There truly is something for everyone!

I really believe that a fresh, inviting library will encourage students to grab new reading titles and enjoy their reading times!
