My Students

My students are brilliant and energetic five and six year-olds who love reading!! We are a busy classroom consisting of 18 inquisitive and creative minds! My students come to school every day excited to learn and explore.

You can find magic wherever you look; sit back and relax, all you need is a book!

~Dr. Seuss

Our classroom is a community based on the values of safety, responsibility, and respect. These values apply not only to other people, but books as well! In our classroom we emphasize being a "Book Lover" and treating books like treasure. Our precious books need a safe, organized, labeled place of their own to call home.

My Project

These book boxes will provide an opportunity for children to have access to all of our classroom books all of the time. With the current book storage situation, students only have access to the books that are about whatever content and concepts we are covering in our curriculum. These book boxes will create an inviting, user friendly, labeled, and organized classroom library where the sky is the limit and book options are endless for students. They will be able to independently locate the book their heart is after whenever they want to!

"The more that you read, the more things you will know; The more that you learn, the more places you will go." ~Dr. Seuss
