My Project

Summer vacation is over! Now it’s time to welcome students back to school! What better way to welcome my students than with a brand new classroom library?

Most of the books in my classroom library were given to my students at the end of the school year so that they could continue to read over the summer.

I need help to rebuild my classroom library to start the new school year. My students usually start the school day with silent reading. I would like to continue this assignment to encourage my students to indulge into reading more so that they will become excellent readers.
