My Project

I love teaching 1st Grade at a Title I school. The little students are learning so many things and having readily accessible books to read is the number one indicator of successful literacy instruction. Having SEL books that help teach healthy behaviors and how to make good choices, is a necessity in today’s world. Please help the little students learn by building our classroom library. The books I’ve chosen are diverse, inclusive, and incredibly valuable in teaching about warmth, caring, sharing, and caring. Thank you. I am deeply grateful.
