Creating a Library to Provoke Deep Thoughts and Enrich Ideas!

Help me give my students a library that serve as a "Mirror, Window, and or Sliding glass door." Students deserve to have books that affirm their language practices and or respectfully expand their language repertoire!

My Project

We want our students to have a library that pushes them to be aware of their thinking when making inferences and thinking critically.

Having a high interest, diverse and culturally responsive library will provoke our students thinking; to see themselves as a mirror, window, and or sliding glass door.

These young readers deserve to build a reading life that will lift the level of their reading, make sense of figurative language, use grit to tackle complex text and nurture a love and joy of reading.

As we remind them daily of the importance of reading, we want students to freely have access to a world of literacy with quality, thought provoking resources!
