My Project

I absolutely love how curious, kind, and eager my students are to explore the world through books. Each day, they come to class with open minds and big hearts, ready to learn and grow together. Their enthusiasm for reading is contagious, and I want to nurture that excitement by providing a welcoming and organized classroom library.

The bookshelf will help us create a cozy, inviting space where students can easily find books that match their interests and reading levels.

It will also teach them how to care for books and organize a shared space with responsibility and pride. The markers will allow students to personalize and label their book bins, create colorful book reviews, and engage in activities that help deepen their comprehension and connection with stories.

With these resources, our classroom library will become more than just a place to find books — it will be a space where imaginations soar, confidence grows, and a lifelong love of reading begins.
