A Library Opens The Doors To Discovery
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
I teach a variety of children with very diverse backgrounds. Many of my students are students with English as a second language. I want to be able to reach each student, regardless of reading levels and backgrounds.
My students need to feel loved, welcomed, and accepted as soon as they walk through the doors. We are an awesome classroom with successful, awesome students. We love learning and working together as a community of learners. All children have the ability to learn and grow.
My Project
Having a 6th Grade Classroom Library will ensure that all students will gather and grow a love for reading and learning. I want the room to show my love for teaching, learning, and growing...along with them.
This library will help my students excel in their reading adventures as we "travel the world" through books.
Having a classroom that offers flexible and comfortable seating with a plethora of books will ensure that all my students feel welcomed and comfortable in classroom on a daily basis. My library will be the center of all learning and will make for an environment that shows the love for learning and growing throughout the year. I am asking for two copies of 34 different books including The Giver as well as boxed sets of Harry Potter, Maze Funner and Hunger Games series. I am asking for two carpets and tour bean bag chairs.
