My Project

My students have a passion for reading! I've put together quite a collection of titles for my students and have successfully built an extensive library for choice reading. Now, I need a space to house all of our new books!

I love to see the excitement in the eyes of my students when they are able to choose a book that interests them and give them the empowerment to keep forging ahead.

I may only teach 9th grade, but I have former students coming to check out books from my library. These books, and the bookshelf to store them on, will make a huge impact in my classroom in building confidence in my young readers while instilling a possible lifelong passion for reading.

Every book in my library is treated with love and care. This bookshelf will keep our classroom books organized and safe for many years!
