My Project

My students have an unquenchable love for literature, particularly graphic novels. These visual storytelling treasures have a unique ability to captivate and engage young readers. By incorporating a diverse selection of graphic novels into our curriculum, we aim to not only meet, but exceed academic content standards, promoting literacy skills, critical thinking, and creativity.

Our primary goal is to create an enriched reading environment that not only meets educational standards, but nurtures the mental and emotional health of our students.

Our aim is to enhance reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and critical thinking skills.

My students are truly exceptional, displaying unparalleled enthusiasm for reading that is both heartwarming and infectious. Witnessing their joy every time new books appear in our class library is a true testament to their genuine passion for literature. Their insatiable love and thoughtfulness for reading not only set them apart, but also give insight into the amazing futures that await these bright minds.
