My Project

As a first year teacher, I was faced with many challenges. Having to leave my first classroom, only 9 weeks in; I left behind a lot of books for students to learn and read even if I was not there. With leaving those behind, I lost a lot of my classroom library and that included all of my class sets of Junie B Jones, A to Z Mysteries, and Piggie and Elephant. These books are not cheap as they are in sets and I am looking to refund another entire classroom. These books will help students learn to read and have fun while doing it.
