My Project

The limited selection of books in my classroom library have been well-received by my 25 students, sparking excitement and fostering a love for reading among them. I am inspired to expand upon our classroom library. By creating a classroom library with flexible seating options and diverse selection of books, I aim to further enrich my students' literacy development, academic success, and overall well-being.

By providing them with pillows to sit on while they read, will allow them to have flexible seating options in my classroom library.

The books will also fill missing books in my collections that have caught my students interest.

My students and I will be incredibly grateful for your support and generosity. Your donation will make a meaningful difference in the lives of my students, inspiring them to learn, grow, and dream big.
