My Project

Reading is an essential part of learning a language, and my goal is to create a space that inspires my students to explore and enjoy Chinese culture through books. Many of my students are eager to learn about traditions and holidays, but our classroom lacks the resources to fully engage them. I want to build a cozy reading corner filled with culturally rich books, decorative pillows, and comfortable chairs to spark their curiosity and encourage a love of reading.

Students who feel comfortable and excited about their reading environment are more likely to develop a lifelong love of learning.

By supporting this project, you will help my students connect with the beauty of Chinese culture while improving their language skills. Together, we can create an inviting space that will make learning fun and meaningful!

Ms. Hou will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by May 12.
