My Project

My third grade classroom is a wonderful place to learn, but it is still a work in progress. I inherited a huge, wonderful collection of classroom books from previous teachers, but I am running out of space with no way to organize them. I am so blessed to have so many books. I have the work ethic to revamp this library and make it a wonderful and accessible area of our classroom.

I have students who want to read more than anything– I just need the resources.

This project is a way to source book bins, a book shelf, and some other materials to reorganize our library. I want to make it accessible and logical so students can maintain it. This teaches responsibility and a love of literature!
