My Project

My students are newly arrived from countries such as Columbia, Korea, and China. They are so excited to learn and grow. They are learning how to acclimate to a new home and school.

These books will allow my students to see themselves in stories as well as learn about other cultures.

I will use these books to read aloud and connect learning through these diverse texts. I want to share these books with my students to help them build their love of literature with characters they can connect to. Thanks!
