My Project

These books will excite my students and continue to build their love for reading. Our current library has many books that are falling apart and have been well loved for many many years. I just know how much my kids will light up when they see all of these new engaging books. They have been asking me about some of these series since the start of the year and all seem to be waiting to borrow the same copy from our school library. Having these books in our very own classroom library will give them access to the books they’ve been anxiously waiting to read.
