My Project

Help give my students a way to see our classroom library in an easy way. We have books but need a better way to organize our classroom library.

My students love to read but we need an easier way for them to access the books in the classroom.

These shelves will allow me more space to let the students see what their options are more clearly. We have such a wide variety of levels in my room and such a variety of interests that giving them an easier way to see all the books will allow them to really look at their choices and decide the best fit for them.
