My Project

I teach an incredible group of young learners who are full of curiosity, imagination, and a love for stories. Our classroom library is a special place where students explore new ideas, build vocabulary, and grow as readers. Each book on our wishlist was chosen to support early literacy skills and reflect the diverse backgrounds of my students. These books will help spark joy, encourage persistence, and build confidence. With your support, we can create a rich reading environment that nurtures their love for learning and helps them thrive every day.
