Readers in the Making: A Library Built with Love

Help me give my students a cozy carpet to read on and fun books like Geronimo Stilton and Dog Man to build our library and their love for reading.

My Project

I love how eager my students are to read any book they can get their hands on. The excitement they show when they discover a new story, make connections with the characters, or imagine bringing parts of the story to life is truly special. Their curiosity and love for learning shines brightest during reading time.

This project will help me create a safe, adaptable, and comfortable space in our classroom where students can enjoy reading.

The carpet will give us a special space to gather, read, and share stories together. The books I’ve selected—including student favorites like Geronimo Stilton and Dog Man—will help spark their love for reading by connecting to their interests and expanding the variety of stories available in our classroom library.

By building a reading environment that feels inviting and personal, I hope to nurture not just their reading skills, but also a lifelong love of learning.
