Big World, Little LibraryBeing able to read is more than a way to stay entertained, it is a gateway into the world. During this project, second grade students at HTeNC will learn about literacy and the importance of access to books, through creating in a book sharing library for the neighborhood.
Together, they will go through the blueprint and critique process to create and build a small free standing structure to serve as the Free Library. Students will research locations where access to books are limited and pair with a preschool to help create a book sharing program on their campus. Students will use data collected on the wide variety of books represented in libraries as well as book preferences of children at the preschool in order to fill the free libraries. Students will also write a custom made book for each preschooler. For more information, or to check out our timeline, click here.
