My Project

My students love to read...and I encourage this anyway I can. Continuously building a library helps me do this for my students!

I have always strived to create a classroom library that is up to date and full of current books.

However, as we know book wear and tear and need to be replaced. This project will help fill the gaps of missing books in different series and replace those that have been enjoyed for many years. There are also some new additions too series that need to be included so students get a chance to read the while story.

Since I have first started teaching I have strived to give my students access to a full library that they can use to take them on many journeys.
