My Project

My fabulous first graders are learning to read and I want to keep them excited by creating a cozy classroom library with new books. Our classroom library has an old carpet and even older books. I am looking to make the library a place students want to settle in with books they are excited to read!

With these new books and a cozy rug, my students will have a place to practice their reading with a variety of books of high interest.

Those that are not quite reading yet, can learn with new and engaging activities to practice literacy skills.

Thank you for considering helping with this project!
