My Project

My new rug and chairs will help students this year focus and be comfortably motivated to expand their reading abilities which have been drastically affected by their formative years through Covid19. It is at this level of a child's learning that determines m the rest of their school success. I want to create a welcoming environment for each child that walks through my door; a place where they feel safe; a place that fuels interest and joy in their learning. My goal is to have 23 little people that have found a love in reading by the end of this year; these are the future leaders of our world!
