My Project

I teach Special Education and I would like to be able to put these books on our reading list for ELA classes. These books will be a blessing to my classroom. My Special Education students show up each and every day, ready to learn and gain knowledge in their own unique ways. These books are simply amazing and will show my students that just because you are different, it doesn't mean "less than others." (Quote from Temple Grandin.)

These stories also show students that through adversity, you can thrive and be happy with who you are and who you will become... And to always be proud of who you are and where you came from.

Mrs. Newell
Grades 6-8
