My Project

My 19 third graders love to read! They come from lower income families and don't necessarily have the books they would enjoy at school and home. Many of them are also military. Book choice is so important to students and providing books that are interesting can help build their love of reading! They look forward to reading independently and buddy reading. I am so proud of their ambition. They also love science, so engineering books are great too!

I would love to fill my library with more books that they love.
