My Project

When you take a peek at my classroom you will see eager faces, ready to learn.

You will see students who enjoy sharing laughter with their peers, putting their problem-solving skills to use with STEAM activities, creating artwork, and playing with their friends.

I am requesting a variety of biography picture books so that they can learn about the accomplishments of others. They will learn. how pizza was invented, who began free little libraries, how Milton Hershey brought chocolate to America, and so much more! I am excited to share these stories with my students and perhaps inspire them to follow the town dreams of making a difference.
