Comfy, Organized Library

Help me give my students a classroom library they will love to read in. The bookshelves will replace my current ones that are currently falling apart and pillows to have a comfy place to read.

My Project

I currently have hundreds of titles in my classroom library and my littles love to read. From early readers to chapter books to nonfiction titles. They spend lots of time reading and my Elephant & Piggie set are well read. However, my kids do not have a great place in the room just to sit and read and often have a hard time finding titles they are looking for. With these bookshelves, I can create a little area in my classroom that my students will love and read their little hearts out.
