My Project

This project combines the power of reading with musical skills, life skills, and healthy eating habits to engage students in a dynamic learning experience. As students read, they will explore exciting stories and develop essential skills for success—whether it's learning to play an instrument, making healthy food choices, or building emotional resilience. Our students at our Title I school with special needs would benefit greatly from more exposure to life skills. Our students are English Language learners and it is critical for them to receive exposure to as many books as possible.

By integrating these areas, the project helps students with special education needs connect what they learn to their everyday lives, fostering a love for learning and empowering them to thrive in school and beyond.
