My Project

My 3rd graders are awesome kids! They consistently show up to school on time and are ready to learn. The love of books begins at home, but it continues at school where many times they have a variety of books to select from.

I would love for my students to have enjoyable chapter books to read during their summer break.

Books will foster their love of reading. They have progressed so much after an entire year of online learning and reading is what they love best.
