My Project

Hello!

As a second-year teacher, I am eager to expand the variety of books available to my students to keep them engaged and excited about learning.

I frequently incorporate books into my lessons and actively encourage my students to explore reading during breaks. My goal is to foster a love for literature that inspires curiosity and enhances their educational experience!

Books serve as powerful tools for enhancing speech and language skills by promoting vocabulary, comprehension, social interaction, and expressive abilities. Encouraging a love for reading not only supports communication development but also fosters a lifelong appreciation for literature.

Thank you for considering donating to my classroom! I am excited to put out this project in order to provide additional books to my students!
