My Project

My students are in grades Pre-K 3 to Kindergarten. They have very different backgrounds, with more than 7 languages spoken aside from English. They love interacting with books, looking at the pictures, pointing to them to learn new vocabulary, interacting with each other, etc.

Your donation for this project will help my students to find books that are interesting for them while still keeping them organized.

The book organizer will help keep my students motivated in their learning. The book organizer will also help them to learn skills that they need in order to become readers. Students will be able to independently choose books and restore them easily to where they belong.
