My Project
As a special education teacher, I am always searching for new ways to motivate my students. Building an environment where the students can flourish, finding books that interest them, introducing different types of media, and providing resources and materials they do not have access to are just a few ways I hope to help my students find success within my classroom.
My classroom is filled with students eager to ignite their love for reading again.
When given the opportunity and resources, I have seen these kids do incredible things, both inside and outside of the classroom. I am hoping with your help, I can include more high-interest novels in our classroom library so each of my students will find a book they truly are interested in reading.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
