My Project

There's a common phrase that says "Windows, Mirrors and Sliding Glass Doors" to highlight that students can learn about themselves and others through books.

My goal as a teacher is to build a robust classroom library and mentor text read-aloud that allow students to see themselves and others.

These books will help my students to learn about new holidays, celebrations, and people in our world.

Books have the ability to help us see, explore and meet new people through their words and illustrations. Please help me ensure that my students feel connected to their books!
