My Project

Our library is the heart of our ELA classroom. Each Friday, my students look forward to book talks and sharing new titles that have been released by our favorite authors. Providing my students with current and developmentally appropriate texts is essential to their growth as readers! "Research has repeatedly shown that students who have ongoing access to engaging books in their own classrooms exhibit higher reading achievement, better comprehension, and an increased vocabulary."

I want to update our library with more current and diverse titles that reflect my students' interests and cultures.

Flexible seating will allow students to read comfortably around the room and increase their stamina.

Mrs. Kundla
Grades 6-8
