My Project

Having a reading center that is rich in diversity of genre, content and authors writing style would greatly benefit my students. Our curriculum is designed to integrate reading and writing into every lesson.

Students are asked to apply their knowledge of the content they are reading into their writing projects.

They will be writing narratives, arguments, research projects, poetry, and informative essays.

Having a rich library that contains a variety of literature at their disposal will greatly support their ability to reference material and examples to include in their writing.
