My Project

The last two years have significantly impacted my young, early readers. My first graders missed a lot of early reading skills and social interactions during the pandemic.

Their academic and social-emotional learning is fragile and needs help.

I want my library enriched with books that provide them with opportunities to relate to every situation to process the changes and enhance their skills. They can't get back time lost learning, but I can make a difference through conversations, literature, and early reading skills. These books and supplies will help me help them.
