My Students

Our students are a wonderful group each year. The classroom these books will help support is an inclusion classroom. That means the students within the classroom range from students that need a little extra support to students that are gifted.

My students love to read and will devour a book series time and again.

With students coming from many different ethic and social backgrounds it makes for a wonderful group of kids. This is why I try to maintain a classroom library that will encourage all readers no matter their background.

My Project

My students love to read!! I want to encourage this with a well rounded and up to date classroom library. These books will offer students the chance to fall enjoy many unique series of books.

Series such as "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and "Dork Diaries" offer students non-traditional options in reading.

These are graphic novel series that have become very popular with students that may not jump into reading as quickly as others.

The "Who Was" series offers students the chance to better understand important historical events and people. While the Skulduggery Pleasant, Swindle and Fablehaven offer students stories that take them to new places.
