My Students

My students are passionate about reading, but could you imagine the difficulty of finding a good book in a pile of unorganized books!

My students are looking to be challenged.

They are eager to challenging themselves with the program, Accelerated Reader. Reading books at their level, learning and becoming stronger readers with a passion for reading. They enjoy picking out a book in their level, reading it and then testing. They would have more opportunity to do this with an organized method.

My Project

Unfortunately the students are having a difficult time finding books in their level. With this mobile book cart we will be able to organize our books and my students will be able to continue to challenge themselves with the leveled books for years to come.

The organizational system will insure that my students are utilizing the leveled books for years to come.

They will have an easy opportunity to challenge themselves and really dig into a good book without the hassle of searching through piles of books.
