My Project

Using our imagination to explore through reading. Students are in love with animation. Having animation books at their hands is something special. These books give students a look at themselves outside of themselves. A collection in the classroom will excite students to read more. Reading something you like helps promotes exploring and becoming proficient readers. Students will be able to imagine themselves become critical thinkers and reading detectives. Please help our class become steady and ready explorers. Most of learned through reading. Reading helps build the mindset with vocabulary, understanding, imagination, and fluency. Help shape the minds of today’s youth.
