My Project

My sixth grade students are sweet, passionate, and devoted readers and writers. They crave experiencing stories through literature. Books provide them with a peaceful escape into both realistic and dreamlike fantasies.

That is why I seek to continue building my classroom library with the newest, most notable texts from the loveliest middle grade authors!

In doing so, I observe my dream of empowering future generations to become leaders, visionaries, and creatives come true before my very own eyes.

Along with new classroom library books, my students would also benefit greatly from more common school supplies, such as composition journals, pencils, and glue sticks (all of which they need to write their own imaginings and organize their notebooks). I appreciate your support immensely in achieving this ambition together!
