My Project

I am an ESL teacher with students from around 9 various countries. Our school has not had a library in over 10 years and having a classroom library would be so beneficial to my students. These students do not have any books at home and this library would be so valuable to them.

My goal for this project would be to increase students reading and writing skills and allow them to become more familiar with the English Language.

My students are special as some of them speak more than two languages and have personal sturies to be told about their native countries.
