My Project

My students have found a love of reading for leisure, and I got them hooked on a very popular children's series...The Dragon Masters!

The Dragon Masters is a series of 24 books.

We are requesting books 3-5 so the students can continue to learn more about each dragon and their masters. I actually got 5 of the 2nd book and they went through it in 2 weeks. They really want to know what happens and I am not going to stop them from reading with a little help from you.

The puzzles are done with the class during free time. I teach them to start at the ends and look for colors or patterns. It takes a very long time but I first finish it at home where I put different parts in baggies and hand them out for the students to put together. Then they put it all together to see the results!
