My Project

We are currently beginning a unit on Asia in my class and I would love to be able to add these great books about different Asian countries and their rich cultures to our classroom library! My students absolutely love learning about new places in the world. Giving my students access to a rich collection of books on different Asian countries and cultures to read both at school and at home would help my students truly immerse themselves in our new social studies unit!

My students are avid readers who love to learn about different cultures and the world around them.

They love to make connections to other cultures and better understand how people in different parts of the world live. Getting these books will allow me to create an entire section of my classroom library devoted to books about Asia, which will excite and inspire my students!
