Life Through Books!

Help me give my students a wide variety of books that they can relate to!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lee's classroom raised $300

This project is fully funded

My Project

These books will make a difference in their learning because they will be able to read and listen to stories that are relatable to their own lives!

My goal for this project is to create a library of books that can meet the needs of neurodivergent and neurotypical students.

They can find a relation to one another through story telling. It helps students understand that there are differences among one another but also find similarities within one each another that they haven't thought about before!

What makes my students special is that they are all unique individuals, but also share so many of the same qualities that they may not share openly!
