Classroom Library Makeover

Help me give my students a revamped classroom library that includes a new rug and books to help foster their love of reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Huelsman's classroom raised $1,028

My Project

Help give my students new reading materials they are interested in to foster their love of reading. Our school does not have a library. This means that our students rely on classroom libraries to find books and help improve their love of reading. Many of my students are able to read book series. I am hoping to fill in gaps in my current library and add more books that the students are interested in. Having containers to keep individual series of books in will help my space to be more organized. This will also allow students to easily look for the series they are interested in and know if the next book they are interested in is available or being read by another student. Help me give my students new books, a rug to read the books on, and organization to keep book series together and accessible. Having a positive space to be able to read and having a complete set of books can help my students become more interested in reading and have a more positive view of reading.
