My Students

My students are creative, outgoing, intelligent, and fearless learners. They come to school each and every day ready to learn new things and take on any challenge that may come their way.

They love reading new books; especially ones they can "get lost in" while reading.

Books that can take them on adventures and to new places!

My Project

These books will allow my students to continue to travel to new places through reading! One of our units of study is all about weather. By reading these exciting chapter books as a class and independently, my students will go on new adventures every day to places they have never been before.

By donating to this project, you will be helping my students' love for reading to grow and enhance their reading skills!

Being that many of my students were learning remotely for a chunk of time last year and this year, being able to hold a book in their hands again will bring the joy of reading back into their hearts!
