My Project

A welcoming and organized library attract children and motivates them to read. I am requesting for book bins and trays to help me to organize books neatly in the library for my students. My class presently has fabric book bins that are not study and they take up space. Fabric bins don't hold tight, they slack quickly and books fall out of them easily.

Bins make it easier for students to see the cover and illustrations.

Bins make it easier for students to see the title. Bins make it easier for students to sort through a lot of books and find one that grabs their attention. Bins allow for a lot of flexibility in how you sort your books. Bins are easy to keeping looking nice and organized.

I also need the trays to organize writing papers for my students. My students will benefit from choosing from a variety of well displayed writing papers to do their writing.

I am requesting for magnifying glasses for my students to explore nature during outdoor science lessons/activities. Magnifying glasses will also be beneficial to them when we do the unit in seeds and planting.
