My Project

Coming into my first year as a third-grade English Language Arts teacher, the first and most coveted thing on the wishlist for my classroom is, naturally, books. A story brings characters, places, and even the most magical experiences to life. The fuller my classroom with these stories, the more my students are encouraged to explore our world through literature.

Working in a Title I school, it is unfortunately not in the budget to provide my students with books.

With your help, a story can be my greatest gift to them. Thank you!
