My Project

I love that my students are so interested in reading! Unfortunately, my classroom library is doing little to capture and hold their interest. Classroom libraries are constantly in competition with video games and social media. Let’s give books a fighting chance! Help me fill my library with more diverse, engaging books to capture my students’ attention. I’m hoping this project exposes my students to different genres, diverse protagonists, and that the new titles help maintain or ignite their love of reading. There’s nothing better than curling up with a good book!
