My Project

I have a terrific group of Second Graders who know you "learn to read by reading." We have a variety of books in our room. The students eagerly await Monday Morning to pick out the treasures they will read each week! These choices must be made carefully to make sure they have plenty of delights to pique their appetite for personal reading time.

Unfortunately, our enthusiasm outweighs the ability to keep books organized with selections visible and available!

Therefore, we would love to enjoy these two bookshelves and organizing bins! Currently, our books are housed in milk crates we have temporarily borrowed. What a mess!
