My Project

This will be my first year teaching in a middle school and I am truly thrilled to start this new journey. For this project, I hope to build a classroom library filled with a variety of books that my students will be interested in reading in order to help foster the love of reading.

My wish is that my students are excited to visit our classroom library and to have many incredible books to choose from right at their fingertips.

My plan is to encourage my students to book shop in our classroom library on a weekly basis and to engage in class discussions with their peers where they can have deep conversations about their books.
