My Project

After Hurricane Helene flooded Tampa last year, most of my chapter & seasonal books were ruined. We also lost several other items but the books for my classroom were the most precious!

My students love graphic novels and biographies!

They also do a biography project each year where they research and present posters. They love it and it is a great way to learn both research and presentation skills!

This project would allow students to continue their reading journey in fun ways while also learning about the past as well as difference makers of the world.
