My Project

Each year I try to update my classroom library with new, exciting, meaningful, and diverse reading material. Books are very valuable and can be expensive. I am asking for the support of my community to help make this dream come true!

Books are magical and I believe that every student should be able to see themselves in reading material and find a book that they love!

Classroom libraries need to represent all students' demographics, ethnicities, socioeconomic. They also need to have all reading levels. Making a classroom library inclusive, powerful, and motivating is a challenge every year.
