My Students

Be a Peach Country Shining STAR( students that always read).

I am the media specialist at KRE, grades Pre-K - 5th grade.

Our students work hard at their level daily with the goal of achievement.

I love to see the students coming to me to tell me they are almost finished with their book, or they took an Accelerated Reader test and are eager to tell me what they scored.

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich environment in the media center. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have met with my student media team to get suggestions on books that they would like to see added to our collection.

Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time at school and at home.

Students will always be able to complete an Accelerated Reader test on the book once it's finished.

Reading books that are on the students' Lexile level will build fluency ad expand the students' vocabulary.
