My Project

With the bookshelves and books, I will be able to create a comfortable and inviting reading nook that will play a significant role in the lives of my 4th grade students. The books will increases the knowledge of my students, improve their intellect, makes them aware of the various societies, and civilizations across the globe, and enhance their imagination and creativity.

The goal of this project is to promote inclusion and diversity while providing confident and independent readers a place to gather.

It will also provide my students with a wide range of reading materials that gives them an array of genres and topics.
