My Project

I have seen so much growth in my students since getting back to normal after the pandemic. Each and every one of them are such hard workers. They come to class every day ready and willing to give it their all! My students are starting out lower since the pandemic and I am finding that I have to dig deeper in my teaching tools to meet them where they are at.

It is my hope that with the materials that we get, they will blossom from learning to read to reading to learn.

I would love to continue to instill in them a love for learning to read.
