My Project

Our school-wide reading challenge for the upcoming year revolves around the books on the list. The books will provide access for all of my students to participate in the reading challenge with their peers.

My classroom library is a place I want every student to be able to visit and take advantage of.

Adding the carpet and headphones to our classroom will provide a place and environment for students to read independently, complete their work, and explore different kinds of stories.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level and feel a level of accomplishment as they participate with their peers.

The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. The rug will allow them a secure and comfortable space and build an environment around literature. I have seen how allowing students to take ownership of their space, like they will be able to do with the headphones, helps students identify what they can achieve.
