My Project

I have many books available for my students to read every day! The students help me separate the books into different plastic baskets to help them have an easier time to find books they want to read. These baskets hold books by author, book character, and genre.

Every year I tell my students that there are 3 simple ways to become a better reader: Read, Read, Read!

I moved my classroom at the end of the school year to accommodate a grade change and my book baskets are worse for the wear. New book baskets will help my students set up amazing library in its new home!
