My Project

My classroom needs a classroom library because I am moving to a new grade that I have never taught so I do not have books for upper elementary grades. I want to foster a love of reading in my students and I want to do that by giving them books to read for fun in the classroom. I have chosen high interest chapter books for my students.

My students need to know it is okay to read for fun.

I want to them to enjoy reading in my classroom. I need updated novels and graphic novels to promote reading for fun.
