My Project
My students are curious, kind, and full of potential. Every day, they come to class eager to learn, ask questions, and explore the world through stories and lessons. What I love most is their enthusiasm — whether they're diving into a new book, helping a classmate, or sharing their thoughts during discussion, they bring energy and joy into our classroom.
A new bookcase will give our classroom a dedicated space to celebrate reading — a place where books are organized, visible, and inviting.
Right now, our books are stacked in corners and boxes, making it hard for students to see what’s available or find the stories that excite them.
It will help students take ownership of their reading, make it easier to explore different genres, and create a cozy corner where learning feels fun and accessible. With your support, we can give our books — and our students — the space they deserve to grow
