My Project

As a teacher, I have accumulated a lot of different books for my students to read in the classroom. We have a big selection of picture books and chapter books. Although, this year I have noticed that I am not giving all of my students books to read.

I want to be able to give books to all of my students, even if some of my students do not read or speak English.

These books will allow my Spanish-speaking students to have books to read, just like their classmates.
