My Project

My project will help create not only an enjoyable library learning book for my young readers but will also create a lifelong love of reading for my students. As a humanities teacher I know how important it is for our students to learn fundamental reading skills that will set them up for success. I also know that as a village we must instill a life long love of reading in our young readers.

A young learner’s reading experience should be enjoyable filled with adventure, joy, and comfort!

Reading will take you so far in life. I want to create an enjoyable cozy library nook where my students excitedly jump for joy about. This includes insuring I have comfortable seating for students where students can sit while they get stuck inside of a good story. I would love cushions so they can feel cozy in a home like environment so they can peacefully read their favorite book. A rug that feels soft and comfortable where they may lie down and relax as they read a magnificent story.

A love for reading must start from a young age. We have to ensure that we give our young learners the opportunity to build this love of reading with a cozy enjoyable experience that they will eagerly ask to experience school day after school day. Please help me put together this cozy library nook in my classroom so we may begin that love of learning.
