My Project

I am a first-year third-grade teacher and would love to have various books for my students in my classroom library. I always loved reading because of the creativity and imagination that follows reading.

I hope to spark my students' love of reading and aid a new generation of creative learners.

School libraries don't always have the books students want available, either because they are checked out or not at the school. Reading will also help expand students' vocabulary and phonetic skills.
