My Project

By helping purchase Maud Hart Lovelace Award books for my 4th grade class, you're not just providing them with captivating stories; you're also fostering a love for reading and learning. These book titles will be used for a district-wide Battle of the Books competition as well.

These books offer rich narratives that resonate with young readers, sparking their imagination and curiosity about the world around them.

Additionally, diving into these adventures can instill valuable lessons about friendship, resilience, and empathy, shaping your students into well-rounded individuals with a passion for literature.
