My Project

I'm excited about the opportunity to enhance our classroom library with culturally diverse books.

I strive to create a print-rich environment that not only engages our students but also reflects the diverse world we live in.

Adding more culturally diverse literature will help our students connect with different perspectives and experiences.I encourage independent reading as it plays a crucial role in increasing fluency, reading skills, and overall knowledge.

Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunity to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them read titles just like these for the last few weeks of school, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
