My Project

This project would help me provide a book a month for each student in my special education classroom. My goal is to help bridge a love of reading from school to home. We will read the book in class, discuss the story, answer questions and have a literacy based activity that correlates with the story. After our lesson is over, the student will be able to take the book home to read with a family member.

Thank you for any consideration in helping my students build their own library at home!

Ms. Martinez
Grades 3-5
