My Project

These books will impact every student in my classroom and those who follow for years to come. These books will spark student interest and be an encouragement to test their reading abilities.

My goal for this project is to build on what we have in our current library and give my students an opportunity to ready outside of the classroom.

Our students are not allowed to bring school library books home, but our classroom library would be different. I would love for these students to be able to check one book out at a time to bring home and read on their own. This not only encourages students to read outside of school, but it gives them an opportunity to choose something other than a electronic device to occupy their time.
