My Project

It's a new dawn, It's a new day, It's a new job for me and I'm feeling good! As the new Media Specialist I am trying to pack my media center with books, books, and more books! I am wanting to have a diverse collection of books that all students can identify and connect with and be inspired by.

Chapter books and graphic novels are very popular with students in all grade levels.

Our students love to read these types of books, they expand their reading skills when reading fun and interesting books! These books will continue to enhance the print-rich media center that I strive to create. My media center will be a place that my students really enjoy coming to. Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and I am thankful for the opportunities my students have to read.

All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them the last few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
