My Project

What I love most about my students is their curiosity, resilience, and excitement for learning. They come to class eager to explore new ideas and stories, and I want to nurture that enthusiasm with a classroom library full of books that reflect who they are and who they can become.

Each book added to our library will open doors—to new vocabulary, deeper comprehension, and greater empathy.

These resources will help my students grow not only as readers but also as thinkers, dreamers, and kind, confident individuals ready to engage with the world around them.
