This project will help my students access to a classroom library they have not had. Their previous teacher left shortly after the beginning of the school year and took everything with her, from the art supplies, to the behavior reinforce the rewards, and including the classroom library leaving these kids with a pretty empty room except for their desks in. This project will help to fill the walls of our room and make it our own but most importantly increase our class library giving students direct access to books that will help increase their experience of the world and use of their imagination through literature. The books in this project will help the students grow not only academically but allow them a space to take a step back from the crazy world we are currently experiencing into other exciting worlds. I believe books are essential to help a student grow academically and emotionally as it helps the student build on their reading skills and vocabulary. The art supplies will help the students move away from the constant computer screen assignments and allow them to express their emotions through hands-on materials. Many of my students have some form of anxiety, the sensory anxiety strips will help the students during testing, allowing them to relax and not feel as stressed while they are taking tests.
