My Project

An organized and visually appealing book display case and shelves will make it much easier for younger students to see, reach, and interact with the books. This accessibility not only helps maintain an orderly classroom but also encourages students to explore a wider variety of books, inspiring curiosity and fostering a deeper love for reading that can last a lifetime.

A big book display case will be incredibly helpful in holding the large books while I read to the kindergarten and first-grade students.

Having a dedicated space for these oversized books will allow students to easily select their own books, rather than having to dig through a cluttered closet where the books are hard to find. It also eliminates the issue of stacking them in a pile on the floor, which can create a chaotic and unorganized environment.

Ms. Sakamoto will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 12.
