My Project
Hi everyone. I am a 5th year teaching who has just transferred to a new school. It is a new school which began in the year 2019, and is still in the early stages of development.
I teach a self-contained class of students with special needs, and who will all benefit from culturally relevant reading material.
I have carefully chosen books that I believe will support their reading levels and keep them engaged based on their interests. I will greatly appreciate any help! Thank you very much!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
