My Project

Students love to have variety and choice in what they are learning - many new authors include stories from all over the world, and giving these choices to our students will help them to explore through the written word.

Reading each day will expand our students' learning and critical thinking skills!

Please consider supporting building of our school library by bringing in new texts that have modern ideas and stories our students will be excited to read about.

A library will be a part of a student's joy for their whole life - thank you for considering making this important contribution!

Ms. Castine PS/IS 104 the Fort Hamilton School Grades 6-8
