My Project

A library is an important part of a classroom. It provides students with rich resources of books to help them grow as readers and learners. As students have a variety of interests and abilities, a library containing books that meet their levels and interests are key.

Providing students with books that both peak their interests and needs are key to giving them a positive mindset on reading.

Additionally, having a library carpet where they can sit and read gives them a nice quiet corner in the room where students can entrench themselves in reading and broaden their horizons while stretching their brains and imaginations from the magical world of literature!
