My Project

Hello-shes back again! I am starting this project to revamp our classroom "library" to help spark the joy and interest in reading to my students! All of our books have been donations or just random books I have been able to find on sale or around the school and most are not interesting to my population of students. I would love to revamp our little library corner with books the students actually enjoy and make it a cozy place that they can go and relax and pick a book that interests them and makes them want to read!

Ms. C Dr. Albert D. Holland High School of Technology Grades 6-8
