My Project

My kindergarten students are emergent readers and they have made great strides in developing their reading skills since the beginning of the school year.

My goal is to ensure that all my students are reading on a first grade level by the end of the school year.

My students are eager to learn to read and I enjoy teaching and enlightening their young minds with new books each day.

I would like my students to continue to build their reading skills during their summer break.

What makes my students special is their enthusiasm for learning and their willingness to explore new ideas. They support one another, celebrate each other’s successes and work hard every day to become stronger readers.

With your support, I can provide them with the right books to encourage their love of reading and their journey as lifelong learners.
