Bilingual Books and Calm Strips

Help me give my students more calm strips and bilingual books for our library

My Project

I serve so many diverse students and have many different languages in my classroom. This year I have an array of Spanish speakers! I want to help my Spanish speakers feel successful in Spanish, as well as English. I want to introduce them to reading by first letting them read in their home language. I want to give them tools that will help them use their already existing literacy skills to make connections to the ones we add to their knowledge banks every day. If we can set up my classroom library with more bilingual books, they can feel more included in learning.
