My Project

My students love to select books, get in engage with words and illustration on each page. In my classroom students enjoy the freedom to select their own book and sit back and relax. I see the excitement in each students as each page is turned.

The comfy couch and comfy chair I requested will provide my students a space in the classroom to experience the enjoyment of reading and story telling.

I believe adding this furniture to our Library Area increase student's interest in reading and help teach them the concept of print.
