My Project

I teach students with disabilities. It is a great honor and pleasure to see my students grow and explore the world through reading and exploration. I read stories to my students and also allow them to choose books and stories of their own interest. This project will allow me and my students to create an activity center and library for the classroom. The book storage in this project will increase the number of books my classroom can hold in its activity center. The books in the project are age-appropriate for ages 4-6. My students' ages range from 4-5 years of age and these books will increase literacy development.
