My Project

I absolutely love and adore my students because of their honesty, their drive for leadership and the love and respect they give to everyone including their peers.

The different books that I have chosen will make a difference in their learning by them reading books that talks about social and emotional skills.

Some students don't know what anxiety is and they may have experienced it, so some books I have selected talk about anxiety.

Having a diversity of students I selected books that can relate to their culture and others as well. I believe these books will be more enjoyable for my students to be able to identify themselves in these books and having a better understanding of their peers culture as well.

What makes my students special is the drive to be successful, and I am here to support them and love on each one of them wholeheartedly. My students needs motivation, so the books I selected are one step closer to accomplishing these goals!
