My Project

Hey, I am currently going into my senior year at Coastal Carolina University where I am pursuing my degree in Early Childhood Education. I created this donors choose to use in the classrooms that I am placed in as a student teacher and to kick-start my classroom library.

I choose books in four categories: Math, Science, Social Studies, and Social-Emotional.

I selected a wide variety of diverse books that would interest my students. I added these culturally diverse books so that my students from all different backgrounds will feel welcome, and included while being able to see themselves in the stories they read.
