I would like to create a cozy place where my students can read and explore the library while sitting in their bean bag chairs and smell the aroma of a lavender candle. I want the library to be my students second home. These books that I ordered will continue to enhance the student and start conversations that will make my students think outside the box. I want to create an atmosphere where the Library is cozy and inspiring. The library is a place that many students love to come, so they can do reading and research. I want them to go to the fluffy carpet to complete work there, and also read independently! Every student that enters recognize that every book and comfy spot is treated with care, and they are grateful for the opportunities to read. The bean bags purchased will give the library a therapeutic and more comfortable feel. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have spoken with serval students the first few weeks and I have asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will encourage them continue independent reading. With these new books, bean bags, and aromatherapy candles, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to think outside the box and enjoy reading while in a stimulating space. I believe the best way to increase reading ability is to get the students to the library and have books clubs and lunch in learns that incorporate literacy. These books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. This project will not only help improve and encourage reading but it will also give students some time to read independently.
