Getting Students Excited to Read

Help me give my students a bookshelf to better view their reading options.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Beaulieu's classroom raised $292

This project is fully funded

My Students

The students in my class are excited and eager to learn. My students are joyful, energetic, creative and always so much fun to be around! They come from a variety of backgrounds and have a wide range of educational experiences. Most of my students come from low-income homes where they have had limited exposure to reading. Some students have experienced some form of previous education while others do not know how to hold a book. All of my students are capable of growing and learning inside the classroom.

My students have so much to learn whether they need to learn how to tie their shoes, letter sounds, adding or writing.

My students have the potential to do amazing things and I loving being able to help them grow.

My Project

This book shelf will help my students stay organized and better view their reading options during centers. My students struggle with my current classroom library situation because the books are in baskets and they are not able to view them properly in order to choose the book they want to read.

My students will become more excited to read with this bookshelf because they will be able to see their favorite books displayed on the bookshelf.

With this book shelf, students will be able to see their options all at once and they will be able to make a quick decision to begin reading faster. This bookshelf also allows for easy student access to books and it is big enough that I will be able to display enough books for multiple students to choose one that they like. It also allows for students to easily put back books when they are done instead of cramming them back into a basket which often ruins the books.
