My Project

Developing a love of reading is, I believe, one of the most important jobs I have as a teacher.

Over the past few years, we have seen the effect of COVID-19 on our students and how they have fallen behind academically.

If we can instill a love for reading, however, and for learning through books, we can help these students reach amazing new heights and become lifelong learners!

I am requesting new books to add to my classroom library, as well as reward items that will be used to motivate my young readers. One of the activities we will use to make reading FUN is "Flashlight Friday" - where students are able to read their books using a flashlight while we turn off the classroom lights. The book bags will be used for students to borrow books from my classroom library. The more books they read, the more rewards they will earn in the form of bookmarks, reading bracelets, etc. It is all about creating an amazing reading experience for my students and showing them that reading is an ADVENTURE!
