My Project

Our students are an amazing, vibrant set of first graders who are eager to learn and explore the world. We want to keep them engaged with books that not only teach them but excite and encourage them to learn more about the world. The books in this project will allow each of my students to have an opportunity to achieve greatness. The books will continue add to enhancing a print-rich classroom that I strive to create. The classroom library is a place that students really enjoy, we read on the carpet to them, therefore the cushions will also enhance their experience. The students will be able to complete work there, and most importantly read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read.
