My Project

Hello donors! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to look at my classroom library project! With this project, I am hoping to build the classroom library that my students deserve to have.

As a new ELA teacher, I am working towards developing a space that makes books easily accessible for my students and provides them with a comfortable place to work.

Hopefully, this will facilitate small group for my students and encourage them to pick books they enjoy and discuss their work with partners.
