My Project

The goal of this project is to use the resources to create a dynamic, inclusive, and supportive learning environment where every student can thrive, discover his/her love for reading, and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.

The graphic novels will captivate my most reluctant readers, while multicultural books will help students connect with and appreciate diverse cultures.

Students will have the opportunity to engage with graphic novels during their independent reading block, while the multicultural books will be read and analyzed during enrichment activities. Headphones allow for personalized learning experiences, enabling students to focus and engage more deeply with both audio and text-based content. My students are special because they bring unique perspectives, resilience, and a rich cultural heritage that enrich our classroom discussions and inspire a deeper understanding of the world.
