My Project

The books I have carefully chosen will be read aloud to my students. They love having their own personal copy to follow along.

Sharing my love for reading with my third graders is priceless.

We enjoy the places books take us. Dear Mr. Henshaw, one of the class sets I have requested, is by one of my favorite children's authors, Beverly Cleary. I remember as a child reading all of her books. I would love to give my students the same opportunity to fall in love with a good book (or two!).
