"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one." George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons. Hello, and welcome to my page! Many of my students come from at-risk, low income homes and families who are unable to provide their children with rich educational experiences or resources. My fifth graders are varied in reading and interest levels. I have some students who are advanced readers while others have told me that they have never finished an entire book. It is my desire to provide them with literature that will inspire a love of reading and learning. Please help make that dream a reality by funding our project.
