My Project

This project is going to help me create an inviting space for my students to learn and read. The book organizers will allow me to place the books in an appealing manner. Also, I will be able to place the books in new and creative ways. This will draw their attention to the new books.

The more students read, the more successful they will be in all academic areas!

With this goal in mind for my students, I have been working to gather items to make my classroom a comfortable and inviting space. The desk and chair will provide an additional space for students to grab a book and kick back and read.
