My Project

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level. These books will help students foster a love of reading improving their reading skills. These books will give them a variety of diverse and a wide range of subjects the students enjoy reading. The goal of this project is to increase the number of books in our school library so that students can choose a book that they are interested in and will inspire them to keep reading.
