My Project

My goal this year was to create a beautiful classroom, library for my lovely 5th graders where students feel inspired to become great readers. The materials from this project will help me meet that goal. Students will have a nice place to sit and read independently, with a partner or in groups. A classroom library should be warm and welcoming filled with the kind of books that invite students to explore. These materials will do just that. Students will feel compelled to sit and read for as long as they want to.
