My Project

As an educator, I have the privilege of witnessing the growth, curiosity, and enthusiasm of my students every day. Their eagerness to learn, their resilience in the face of challenges, and their boundless creativity continuously inspire me. Each student brings a unique perspective, and seeing them develop their skills and confidence reminds me why I chose this path. They push me to be a better teacher, to find new ways to engage them, and to create an environment that nurtures their love for learning.

One way I hope to further support my students is by creating a dedicated reading corner.

A reading corner is more than just a space with books; it is a gateway to imagination, knowledge, and self-discovery. The books, the comfortable pillows and rugs will provide a comfortable, inviting place where students can explore different worlds, develop critical thinking skills, and foster a lifelong love of reading. For many of my students, having access to engaging books in a cozy, welcoming environment can make all the difference in their academic journey.

By offering a quiet space for independent reading, this corner will encourage students to develop a habit of reading for enjoyment, rather than just for assignments. It will also serve as a safe haven—a place where they can take a break, immerse themselves in stories, and build a deeper connection with literature. Whether they are struggling readers who need extra practice or advanced readers looking for new challenges, the reading corner will be a resource that meets them where they are and helps them grow.
