Reading Corner

Help me give my students books that can expand their knowledge and deepen our love for reading! Reading can be such a rewarding journey, and it's wonderful to immerse ourselves in stories and ideas for a long time.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Hello! I'm a resource counselor at Yokomi Elementary School, and I’m excited about the possibility of enhancing our library section in the classroom. I truly appreciate having books and essential items in our calming corner, as they create a wonderful space for our students to relax and enjoy reading. This quiet time helps them feel more centered before returning to class.

We also open our room twice a week, allowing students to earn a pass to explore all the fun activities we offer, such as painting, reading, and games.

It’s fantastic to see how much our students love reading, which is why I hope we can receive new books for our library. Our students are genuinely grateful for any resources we can provide for them. Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our young readers!
