My Project

This year, our class loves to read. Every minute of the day there is a student lost in a good book. For many, their favorite time of the day is when they can read around the classroom. On a daily basis students are giving book recommendations to each other, asking for good books to read and browsing through our classroom library.

With this project, I can expand our classroom library by adding books of their interests.

Our class loves to read, and it is such a beautiful thing to have as a part of our classroom culture!
