Engaging Classroom Library

Help me give my students more books. My students need access to quality book sets that capture their interests and I am also asking for bins and shelving to organize these books.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am so excited to expand my classroom library in order to give my students access to great independent reading books.

Reading is a huge part of intellectual as well as social development and is so important in the middle school years.

I really am excited to provide the students with more literature choices and books that will capture their attention. Developing a culture of reading is a major focus of middle school. Getting students to love reading really makes them lifelong learners. This project will also enable me to organize the books on shelves and in bins for them to provide easy ways for them to choose what they wish.
