My Project

This is an amazing group of 4th graders, clever, witty, creative. They will do great things this year. I have a special reading program that instills the love of reading in every one of my students. It makes a big difference for them to have a cozy reading corner. Please help us create one. Research shows that students who love reading succeed both in school and later in their adult lives, because being a proficient reader helps in every field and subject. That includes math and science. Thank you so much.
