My Project

This project will give my classroom library a bunch of new titles. It will also give us library books in languages that I do not currently have available for my students.

This project will supply my classroom with a multitude of diverse books, so my students can see themselves represented in texts they select to read.

Learning to love reading can be a powerful thing in a young student’s life and this project will help accomplish that goal! I want to increase my students' exposure to quality texts and rich stories. I want to increase my students' ability to read, comprehend, and ENJOY books!

Mrs. Scanlon
Grades 3-5
