My Project

As I begin to prepare for my fourth year of teaching, I will be guiding both 2nd and 3rd grade students through the 2023-2024 school year. With another change in the grade level that I will be teaching this year, we need more books!

Students love to read!

I would love to provide my students with a variety of books that they can access this year to help them continue foster that love of reading. Please help me provide my students different books of all ranges this year so that they can continue their reading journey!
