My Project

Help me give my students quality science, technology, engineering, and math books along with hands-on manipulatives that will bring their learning to life. It is hard to describe my students. They run the gambit: shy and quiet to loud and confident, voracious readers who love almost every book I put in their hands to those who have yet to read a book from cover to cover and struggle to find one that holds their interest. But one thing they all have in common is that they all love the hands on activities that can go along with reading, and they all have the potential to become lifelong readers.
