My Project

The purpose of this project it to create a classroom library where students can read for fun! Additionally, students will be able to practice their reading skills with a variety of books. Having choices for students will help them select books that get them excited about reading.

Adding books to our classroom can encourage students to read independently, and gain a life long appreciation for books.

The books selected for this project will allow students to have more opportunities to read during the school day. These books will also help us have group storytelling, and for partner reading.
