My Project

Heading into my 3rd year of teaching I have been overwhelmed with the amount of novels and books that have made their way into my classroom- what a great problem to have!

Help me create a new space to house my expanding classroom library along with some new books that showcase all of the diverse young adult experiences my students are facing.

A new book case and organizational materials will help create an accessible and organized space for students to borrow books from. Having this new classroom library space will help continue to encourage my students to foster their love of reading and explore new books inside and outside of ELA class. Thank you!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
