My Project

I have created a classroom library corner for our life-long readers in my 1st-grade classroom! The purpose is give them the opportunity to grow their skills and excited about reading.

Having many variety of books to choose from at their specific reading level, allows my students to feel successful in their reading journey.

I am so excited and wanted to have additional book collections to my existing classroom library corner. I know the addition of these reading books in my classroom will help students' reading ability, as well as their desire to read independently.

Thank you for helping me fulfill this project for my classroom and students!
