My Project

The school year is up and running! Each week the students get to choose books to read both in school and at home. My co-teacher and I are new to 1st grade so we would love to increase the number of books to choose from.

The more excited the students get about book shopping, the more they look forward to reading!

Imagine our first graders going book shopping and then they see a book…the book…the one that makes them want to go home. And show their families. Please help us instill a love a reading.
