My Project

My class has been working very hard this year to improve our reading stamina and skills at reading. With covid happening during these students' kindergarten and 1st grade years, it has been a challenge to catch up and improve their reading abilities. A lot of these students said "I can't read" the first day of school.

With these new resources, these students can have a better chance at being able to read!

I hope that being the right teacher at the right time will be just what they need to accomplish this goal. With your support, I can offer these students exciting books and quality resources to reach for the stars.
