My Project

Each day students come into school with the eagerness to choose new books from our classroom library. With daily use, things start to wear and tear.

Our library is also organized by level and topic so the barcode scanner is extremely useful when keeping things in their place.

Students will enjoy new bookmarks to keep their place in what they are reading, post-it's to jot down their thoughts while reading and scanning their books in and out.

New shelves will also be extremely useful when displaying our new Mosaic, Social Emotional, and Culturally Responsive books.
