My Project

My students would love to have new books for our reading center. Literacy is very important in a child's world, they learn by being read too.

These new books would make our reading center stand out and also will be exciting to read during group time.

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy-I read on the carpet to them. Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read.

Each day after snack my students enjoy looking at books and being read too while waiting to go home.
