My Project

I would love to have inspiring picture books in my classroom to motivate and engage my students in meaningful learning experiences. Picture books with uplifting stories and diverse characters can help build empathy, spark creativity, and encourage positive values like kindness, perseverance, and teamwork. These books also support social-emotional learning, giving students a chance to relate to characters and discuss important life lessons. By incorporating inspiring picture books into our daily routine, I can foster a love of reading while helping my students develop a growth mindset and a deeper connection to the world around them.
