Where Are the Books?

My Students

If you love books, you know it is important to have a place to store them. My students need a book shelf to store their books and be able to find their favorite books easily.

I teach at a school in central Florida.

We have a population of students that are economically challenged. 85% of the students qualify for free/reduced lunch program and we are a Title 1 school. The students are very needy and need much in the way of resources.

My Project

My kindergarten students love reading. They look at books and are beginning to read the books that go along with their reading series. Being able to display the classroom books will allow me to put more books out for the children to enjoy. Reading is my students way to build their limited knowledge base. My students need a book shelf to store their books. We have limited space available to display our classroom books. A new book shelf will solve our problems.

I am asking for a book shelf to display our classroom books.

Getting a new book shelf will be a wonderful addition to the classroom. A new shelf will allow me to display more books in the classroom.
