My Project

Help my students grow their appetite for leaning with new and exciting books. I am cultivating lifelong long readers in my class who love to devour books!

My goal is to help young readers get excited about books and all the things they can learn.

My students are special because they were born during the Covid years. Since many families were secluded, technology was often used in excess in order for people to feel connected. I really want to help these kids take a step back from the screens and get back into books.
