Book Worms!

Help me give my students the joy of reading books of all sorts! These books will allow my students to read both in the classroom and have texts with them at home.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

The brilliant minds that walk into my classroom each day cease to amaze me in their creative, thoughtful, and innovative thinking. I am the lucky one to see how my students grow each day in their learning as they take on the challenges of an accelerated and personalized curriculum.

My students guide their own learning allowing me to create a space that is open to new ideas and adapt my classroom to what is fitting their needs at any particular moment.

The classroom is their space to grow as learners and each day they independently walk through their paths of learning.

My Project

At home or in the classroom, children need access to books of all kinds. They need to see text and pictures through the eyes of different authors- and jump into the world of reading.

When students are given a chance to spend time with a book they are investing into their futures as lifelong readers.

Using these books at home or at school my students will work towards their reading goals through word practice, story telling, and loving to read stories they do not want to put down.
