My Project

Help my students becoming better readers and writers,

These books will continue to encourage and challenge my 6th students to grow to love become stronger readers more deeply.

Help donate these new books so my students will be able to choose from a variety of books in the library. It is a joy to see how excited my students are to reading and enjoy picking books that love, that inspire them. I want our classroom library to always be a place that my students really enjoy to choose a book from. The pencils will help my students record their thoughts about the titles they are reading.
