My Project

I strive to bring high-interest books to all of my students. My students need to be exposed to diverse books and books with social emotional aspects. I am requesting a variety of multicultural books so I can expand my students knowledge and make my students from other cultures feel at home. My kids love story time more than any other part of the school day. They beg me to read more books to them!

I want my students to see that they are readers.

They will learn key skills as I bring these amazing books to our classes. It is so important for my students to see themselves in the books they see in our classroom. I hope that these books boost their confidence and help them learn about other cultures! Thank you for your support!
