My Project

For this project, we are continuing to work on our classroom library. We want to build a library in the classroom that meets the needs and interests of the students. With that, we want to add more books to my classroom to improve the library's outlook.

The goal of this project is to better the classroom library to persuade students to want to read books by having books of their interest.

I'd like to have books to fit all the needs of the students, including Spanish books, leveled books, and more. I want my library to be welcoming.

Mr. Hoelle Adams Elementary School Grades 3-5
