My Students

My students are intelligent and striving learners who need a push in sparking their imagination, through reading. They're energetic and fun loving, tech geniuses that love to be challenged.

Coming from all different walks of life, they all show up and are ready to learn, bringing their best self forward each day and striving to make the magic happen.

Their ability to persevere through hard work and find joy in it never ceases to amaze me!

My Project

My students need a space to enjoy reading while letting their imaginations run wild. These materials will help to provide that comfy spot to let their minds reach places beyond the four walls of our classroom.

Comfort can be the key to allowing the mind to soar.

These materials, the rug, and comfy chairs will help to do that. The book case will help to allow students to better access the reading material.

Lastly, many of the book sets are to have kids reading novels together in a discussion setting. It is my goal to not only get my students to start reading, but to share and discuss what they are reading together, creating successful future leaders.
