Help me give my students a more enriching reading experience by improving our classroom library with book labels, book bins, bookmarks, and a bookshelf to inspire their reading journey.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
The specific items requested— book bins, bookmarks, a bookshelf, and book labels— will significantly enhance our classroom library's organization and accessibility, making it easier for students to find and select books that interest them. This improved organization will promote independent reading and foster better organization skills, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning. The bookshelf will provide a more inviting and accessible display, enticing students to explore and engage with a variety of texts, while bookmarks will help them track their reading progress and inspire them to set and achieve personal reading goals.
My primary goal for this project is to create an organized, accessible, and inviting classroom library that promotes a love for reading, enhances literacy skills, and fosters a lifelong love for learning.
My students are special because they are a diverse, dynamic group of young learners who are curious, enthusiastic, and eager to learn. Each student brings unique perspectives and experiences to our classroom, creating a rich and vibrant learning environment. By providing them with a well-organized and enriching library, we can help these remarkable students thrive and reach their full potential.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
