My Project

Post covid, our students have forgotten how to empathize and sympathize with others. My students enjoy learning though novels, and I love incorporating novels that teach them about the love of differences in others.

The donations to this project will help to improve my students' understanding of and competency in reading while teaching them how to be kind contributors to society.

My students are the world's assets, and I want them to be kind productive members of the world. Many of them do not know how to empathize with others or how their words and actions effect others.
