My Project

I teach in an elementary library and am very passionate about getting every child to discover a life-long love for reading. To make this a reality for the students, I have organized several series of books in the library to represent various genres and unique interests. Once the student completes reading a set of independently chosen books, they will create a badge with the 'Badge Maker' to show off their reading accomplishment. The books are selected so that every student of every reading level will be able to be successful with this project.

Reading is a way to expand my mind, open my eyes, and fill up my heart (Oprah Winfrey)

I would be so grateful for your help in fulfilling this project to help create fresh excitement about reading and a way for the students to show pride in accomplishing their reading goals.
