My Project

The two bookshelves will help me create a learning environment that represents the two languages taught in my classroom. Students will be able to browse books in each language without getting confused.

Reading is an important trait for curious children.

I would like to instill in my students the excitement of discovering new stories in each language and make it easier for them to find books that spark their curiosity or interests. Those bookshelves will be an important addition to our classroom and my students learning journey.

This will be a small, controlled environment for my students to engage in with appropriately-leveled texts and nurture not only a love of reading, but build on selective reading skills as well.
