My Project

Our classroom is in dire need of new bookshelves to accommodate our growing library and enhance our students' learning experiences. With your support, we aim to create an inviting and accessible reading space that fosters a love for literature and supports literacy development. These new bookshelves will not only organize our collection but also inspire curiosity, promote collaboration, and expand the diversity of voices represented in our classroom library.

The acquisition of new bookshelves will directly impact our students' learning by improving accessibility, engagement, and collaboration.

With ample shelf space, students will be able to easily locate and explore books of interest, fostering independent reading and research. Additionally, a well-organized and visually appealing library environment will encourage curiosity and exploration, promoting deeper engagement with literature and nurturing a lifelong love for reading. Through collaborative reading activities and discussions facilitated by our revitalized classroom library, students will develop critical thinking and communication skills while building a sense of community and shared learning experiences.

Our students are incredibly diverse in their backgrounds, interests, and learning styles, but they all share a common desire to learn and grow. They are creative, curious, and resilient, facing challenges with determination and a positive attitude. By investing in their education and providing them with the tools they need to succeed, we can empower our students to reach their full potential and become confident, lifelong learners.

Ms. Gregg will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 10.
