My Project

In the beginning of the year, classrooms can be very exciting places , especially classroom libraries. Students are eager to find books they will enjoy on the new shelves. By the middle of the year, students feel as if they have “read everything” in the library.

Refreshing our classroom library now will help carry the students through to the end of the year.

Boxes of new books being delivered to the classroom will get even reluctant readers interested, and adding

a few new comfy chairs to the library will only make reading even better.
