My Project

My students are blossoming readers, full of curiosity and joy — and they deserve a classroom that supports their journey. With your help, I’m hoping to provide individual book bins and a set of Biscuit the Puppy books to foster independence and excitement around reading.

Book bins will give each student their own space to store just-right books, helping them feel ownership over their reading.

The Biscuit series is perfect for early readers — filled with simple sight words, predictable text, and heartwarming stories they love to read again and again. These tools will help my students grow as readers, build confidence, and develop a love for books that lasts a lifetime.

With your support, our classroom will become a more organized, joyful, and literacy-rich place where every child can thrive!
