My Project

In my 8th grade classroom we have a wonderful class library but every once in a while it needs a refresh. I have many voracious readers that devour new books and I would love to be able to add these books to our collection.

New books in my classroom library will ensure that my students have access to a diverse and up-to-date collection of literature across various genres and subjects.

A well-curated selection of books supports our curriculum and fosters a love for reading among my students. By offering a wide range of titles, I will cater to different interests, reading levels, and learning styles, engaging students in meaningful reading experiences.

Introducing these new books into my class library provides an opportunity to expand the literary horizons of my students. Exposing them to new authors, perspectives, and ideas broadens their understanding of the world around them and encourages critical thinking and empathy.

A diverse array of books empowers students to choose books based on their interests and preferences. I want to create a reading environment that celebrates diversity and encourages lifelong learning.
