My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place where my students enjoy me reading on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently!

Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunity to read.

All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them the past few weeks of school, read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time. The new bins will be used to organize the library by author, genre or commonality to make it easier for students to see and select a book to enjoy. This will create a beautiful organized space that promotes reading.
