My Project

As I continue to enhance our educational offerings and foster a love for reading among my students, I would like to request classroom sets of novel studies for my classroom. At this time, I do not have enough books for students to have one to one books when we're working on a novel study.

Having complete class sets of novel studies will helps students to remain focused and follow along to the story.

I would also like to refill my reward system incentives to help encourage participation and engagement in the classroom.
