My Project
Creating a classroom library that reflects my students' diverse backgrounds is essential to fostering a sense of belonging and encouraging a love for reading. By including a wide range of books that represent different cultures, identities, and experiences, I want every student to see themselves in the stories they read. Along with this, cozy furniture like bean bag chairs and organized bookshelves will help transform a corner of our classroom into a warm, inviting reading space. This setup shows students that their comfort and experiences matter, and that reading is not just educational—it’s something to enjoy and feel connected to.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
