Reading Is Sweet...and So Is Science

Help me give my students books to read to escape the world around them!

My Project

I want to be able to build my classroom library and fill it with books my students will want to read! I myself am an avid reader and so I want to inspire my students to have a love for reading too. These books will open up opportunities and worlds for the students to explore as they read the stories. Each book has been selected based on interests that I know my students have and what I think they may enjoy reading about.

Reading is crucial for my students as they are on their own literacy journey throughout school.

Having these books in my room for students to easily access will be a game changer
