My Project

I absolutely love watching my students discover a passion for reading, whether it's through independent reading or story time with me. Seeing their eyes light up when they connect with a book is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching. I would love to have more books in my classroom that reflect their interests—books I often see them check out from the library. This would be just the beginning, but I know without a doubt they would cherish every single one. My student are all beginning learners trying to be the best readers they can be.
