My Project

I would like to continue to provide high-interest books to my students to encourage and develop their love for reading. This project will not only add to our classroom library, but it will also add to the warmth and comfort of our classroom. Often times high school classrooms are mundane, and with your help, I can liven our classroom and make it more student-friendly and appealing with cozy chairs that I know they will love. In addition, the novel selection is full of diverse authors who have award-winning content that will grasp young readers' interest within the first few pages, and with a podium, my students will be able to properly present their reading summaries and book reports to their peers.
