My Project

My students are so passionate about learning. They have a profound love for reading and they are always looking for new books. These books will help my readers grow reading levels and will prepare them even more for middle school.

Having a variety of books can help my students discover new types of genres that they may fall in love with!

Having this collection of books will expand my library and will help my students to find new and exciting books for themselves. Let's keep adding books for our future!
