My Project

Because the majority of teens are watching videos rather than reading these days, a primary goal in my classroom this year is to make reading accessible and adventurous--to make students fall in love with reading again.

In order to reach this goal, I'm asking for your help to update my classroom library.

I've compiled a selection from South Carolina Junior Book Award nominees, Young Adult Book Award nominees, and other book award winners to create this project on Donor's Choose. If you can help, my students and I say thank you.

Ms. Paeschke Charleston County School - Arts Grades 6-8
