My Project

I love having my classroom library however I need more diversity. My boys need more options and so this project is for them. I want to have more options in my library for them to chose from. There are so many titles to chose from! Also, I want to complete some series that I have. This is going to help not only this year but for many years to come. All students will enjoy these books. They will be loved and cared for. Thank you for anything you can give.

Ms. James
Grades 3-5
