My Project
Our new elementary school library aims to create an inviting, organized, and interactive learning environment by acquiring a large area rug, supply organizers, and dry erase boards. These items will significantly impact our students' learning experiences.
My goal as the new librarian in a brand new space is to develop a welcoming atmosphere that promotes reading and literacy for my 3K-5th grade students.
The area rug will create a comfortable reading nook, encouraging students to spend more time exploring books and developing a love for reading.
As an organizer myself, I hope to help my students improve their organizational skills and gain individual responsibility. The supply caddies will ensure materials are easily accessible.
Dry-erase boards will facilitate collaborative learning, brainstorming sessions, and interactive lessons. I am hoping to provide a fun way for students to engage and participate in library activities.
The students come from diverse backgrounds, many of which have recently immigrated from abroad. They bring unique perspectives and experiences to our school community. They are eager learners with a natural curiosity about the world around them. For many of them, English is their second language, yet their enthusiasm for learning and resilience in the face of challenges makes them truly special. This project will provide them with the tools and environment they need to thrive academically and socially.
By implementing these additions to our library, I aim to create a space that nurtures my students' love for learning, supports their academic growth, and celebrates their diverse strengths.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
