Independent Library

Help me give my students the ability to grow and love reading independently.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ramirez's classroom raised $655

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are growing and learning to read independently. A fun and exciting library will continue to help my students love reading. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy choosing their books and getting in a comfy mood. Adding the teepee, pillows and rug to their reading library will create a prefect space to relax and get lost in their reading. This resources will supply them the ability to have an innovative learning opportunity. They will be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading.

After having that independent reading time, our rug is where we come back to share about some of the new things we have learned.

We spend spend time on the rug as a whole to learn and grow together.

My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences.
