My students are inspired by the world around them, and I want this to be represented in our classroom library! They absolutely love read-alouds and listening to a good book! I want to give them access to physical books about the things they already love and are interested in. By giving them access to books that they are interested in, we are cultivating a love for reading. This will help build a solid educational foundation rooted in a love for literature. This foundation sets them up for success throughout their education, career, and beyond! Thank you for considering and thinking of our sweet class.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
