My Project

In an age where so many things are electronic, and children are used to seeing pictures flashing across screens, I want to make my students excited about reading books. Reading is so important, and engaging the students helps them learn these necessary skills. Using creative methods, like having a fun flashlight Friday reading time will go a long way to achieve this goal. I'm also asking for pillows to go with the flashlights, so that my students have a comfortable place to read. Please help my students have a fun reading time to look forward to each week.
