My Project

My students are curious, eager learners who thrive when they have access to books that spark their imagination and expand their knowledge. In our classroom, we work hard to build a love for reading, and having an organized, accessible classroom library is essential to that goal.

Right now, our books are stored in bins, but we are running out of space, and many of our current bins are not sturdy enough to last the entire school year.

The book bins I’m requesting will provide a durable and reliable way to keep our library organized, ensuring that students can easily find and care for their books.

My goal for this project is to create a welcoming and structured reading environment where all students can access books that match their interests and reading levels. By fostering organization and accessibility, I hope to encourage my students to become lifelong readers who take pride in their learning space.

My students are special because they come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives to our classroom. They love sharing stories and discovering new books, and these book bins will help ensure that every child has the opportunity to explore and engage with reading in a meaningful way.

Thank you for supporting my young readers!
