My Project

My students are brilliant scholars that love to read books. They love reading many different books. Our classroom library is in need of some TLC. Most of the books in our classroom library are old and torn. Of course this is important for our classroom.

Research has found that students who are in classrooms with well-stocked classroom libraries read more and become better readers than students who aren’t.

For this

reason, it is my goal to continue to build a high-quality library in my classroom. Each child will benefit from reading high quality books.
