My Project

I teach ELA at the most wonderful school ever. My students are respectful, responsible, accountable, and genuinely love to come to school and learn. I teach five classes a day filled with a variety of levels including inclusion and non-English speaking students. One thing that my students love to do is read and they love utilizing my classroom library for free reading time!

Due to my students being voracious readers, we need new books on our shelves to keep up with supply and demand.

My students need new and diverse titles that appeal to them and their reading interests. By adding new titles to our classroom library, I can ensure everyone has equitable access to books that they want to read.
