A Reader Today, a Leader Tomorrow

My Project

I am a first year teacher and have had to build my classroom library from scratch. I teach 92 beautiful, talented, and smart students! My students are diving deep into literature and developing a love for reading. My goal is to keep their love of reading with new books to explore.

My students hold novel studies, where they are making great strides!

However, because they are high ability students, many of the books in my classroom are a little “too easy.” Please help me help these future leaders continue to love reading while challenging them to keep learning!
