My Project

This is my first year teaching 5th grade. I'm trying to build up a class library based on my students' interests. My goal is to help inspire a greater love of reading.

I want my students to learn that reading can be a truly enjoyable pastime.

To that end, I am also including options for flexible seating, so that they can get comfortable as they get lost in their favorite new book.

I also have requested items like markers and tape to help me make the library easy to use.
