My Project

I have a diverse group of learners in my classroom, and all my students have a variety of needs. However, one of our highly important needs is school books! Our budgets are always tight, funding is always minimal, and supplies are always low.

It's always important to keep our classroom library full of exciting, engaging, and current book titles.

Students should be able to get lost in a book, see themselves in the characters they're reading about, and go on amazing adventures. Many of our classroom books are outdated and need to be refreshed.

Our classroom library should be full of exciting, new book titles to pull in inquisitive readers.

Having new, exciting book titles helps students engage in reading and build their reading stamina. Using chart paper and post-its to monitor our reading comprehension helps tie lessons together for stronger engagement.
