My Project

Most of my students come from lower income homes and do not have the money to buy books. A lot of them rely on reading at school because their parents work or even are in separate households. Reading is not a priority at home and having these books at school will give them the chance to love reading.

Some of the units we study throughout the year include mythology and fantasy and these books will tie in well.

The students are amazing at being creative and exploring their imaginations. I can see that these books will unlock even more ideas which can help them in other aspects of the school day as well.
