There is a lot of mold in the classroom due to leaking pipes. The air purifier will help my students to breathe better, especially my students with asthma. The culturally responsive books in the classroom will help my students to see themselves reflected in the materials and will increase their motivation to read, and thus foster a love for reading. I have also included books that they have requested by name (Dog Man and Captain Underpants) as well as books with characters with different backgrounds, helping them to appreciate diversity and motivate them further to read. My main goals of this project are to provide the students with cleaner air to breathe and more relevant books to read.
