My Project

The difference that this will make in the classroom is that it will increase the amount of words that students are reading. We need interesting books to grasp their attention so that they will enjoy reading. We lack a school library and have mini libraries in certain classrooms, so this will provide students with a variety of books to read. As a school we continue to push education and the amount of words that students read each day. We have set aside 40 minutes each day for reading but due to the lack of books in the classroom, some students don't like the books that they read.
