My Project

How will the specific items make a difference in their learning?

Providing individual copies of Percy Jackson, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Wonder allows students to engage directly with the texts, promoting deeper understanding and stronger reading comprehension.

The TPT gift card will give access to high-quality novel study resources that cater to different learning styles, helping students make real-world connections and enriching their overall literary experience.

My goal is for students to develop a love for reading by engaging deeply with meaningful, grade-level texts. I want them to improve their comprehension skills, think critically about literature, and connect stories to real-life experiences.

My students are uniquely curious, creative, and eager to learn. They come to class every day ready to explore new ideas and grow as readers and thinkers, which inspires me to provide resources that meet their diverse needs and interests.
