My Project

Organizing the information in the library and at their desks is absolutely important. Basically, the purpose is for easy access and retrieval of information.

Classroom libraries play a key role in providing access to books and promoting literacy; they have the potential to increase student motivation, engagement, achievement and help students become critical thinkers

By having a place for everything and keeping the classroom tidy, students can avoid distractions and stay on task.

The library check out cards are used for our classroom bank in which students earn class dollars and can begin to learn the value of money.
