It is crucial at a young age to interest a child in reading. A child who reads will be an adult who thinks. I want to empower my students with an amazing and accessible library in our classroom. In our school it is mandatory to read for 35 minutes each morning, which is why with your help, my students will be even more motivated to read. All they need is a great book at their reach. As a first year teacher, I am devoted in providing the best for my students. They deserve access to literature and an impacting education. I want to see them be successful in life. These children deserve the best learning environment and I know they will appreciate getting a brand new library just for them!
