My Students

I have 24 students ranging from 6 to 7 years old. As first graders, they are learning the skills to decode new words to enable them to become more fluent readers. They are excited to read and be introduced to new books! My students are growing and learning in the same small community that inspired me to be a teacher. They are dreamers, thinkers, talkers, and questioners. They are mini inspirations to themselves and others around them, even if they don't know it yet. They are our future and I want to give them a great start to their long successful career.

My Project

My classroom library is currently very limited and small. I would absolutely love to have a variety of books at all different reading levels. I want to give my students the opportunity to go "book shopping" on a weekly basis, so that they can pick out new books and keep them in their book bags. I want my students to read their books multiple times each day, so that they master each book by the end of the week! I want my students to be excited to read and to get new books! If I have amazing books in my library, my kids will love to do their weekly book shopping and daily reading! We need nonfiction books and a cart.

Thank you for your support!
