My Project

My fourth grade students love books and enjoy reading around the classroom! The book shelves will provide a safe home for our materials. Currently, our classroom library shelving has seen better days.

The flexible seating options will allow students to read in a space they feel most comfortable.

Students will be able to choose their space to stay focused on their reading and build their reading stamina.

I believe it is important, as a teacher, to provide a learning environment that is both safe and fun. These materials will allow students to enjoy reading and become better readers!
