My Project

My students are curious and creative during play and academics. They like to use their imagination, explore and interact with each other as they learn and grow every day. These qualities allow them to learn in a fun way, sometimes without even realizing how much they are learning.

Learning to read is essential, while they are on their learning path, in all academic areas.

These books will present them with silly journeys to go on as they practice reading. They will also be encouraged to read aloud more at home and at school as they share their adventures with family and friends. This will help to increase their comprehension and fluency abilities.

My goal is to provide my students with whatever they need to learn and grow while on their academic journey, while making it fun along the way!
