My Project

I love that my students are curious and want to learn new things. The books I have requested will test what they think they can do. The stories will make them think about different situations that people can get into and how we have to use all of our intelligence and strength to get past the difficulties.

These books will also expose them to different places that they have not been to and help them to understand the differences in people.

We live in a world where we need to embrace differences and these books will assist my students with that.

My students are special to me because they are willing to try new things and really stick things out, even when they are not sure that they would like them. I am very proud of them.
