My Project
Year to year, all of the books in our class library get used by many students! The books in our class library year have been loved by countless students and are in need of a little upgrade - in condition and in interest.
My third graders love to read and would enjoy having some newer books and a monthly reading magazine to look forward to each month!
The books and monthly magazine in this project would create more interest and more of a love for reading! Some brand new books would allow us to replace some of the most torn and tattered books in our library. These new books keep classic favorites in our library, but will also introduce some new interests and allow our library to stay current. The monthly magazine contains many genres and articles that will interest every student! We are always looking for more to read!
