My Project

My students recently discovered a love of reading; they spend a lot of time cozying up in our calming corner ready to by themselves or with each other. I would love to combine their new found love of reading with providing them reading materials to enhance their social and emotional growth.

These books would be the first step in providing them with materials to self regulate.

These library materials along with the support of our classroom staff would go a long way in their growth. Along with providing reading materials that would be totally engaging and fun. what a combination! It's a win, win, for all!
