My Project

When you take a peek at my classroom door, you will see eager faces, ready to learn.

You will see students who enjoy sharing laughter with their peers, putting their problem-solving skills to use with STEAM activities, creating artwork, and playing with their friends.

This year I have quite a few students who celebrate Chinese New Year and so I am requesting books to place into our libraries book basket, to honor this. The books Ruby's Wish and the 12 Days of Lunar will let students see themselves as they read celebrating the Lunar New Year.

I am also requesting 34 books from Bound to Stay Bound to add to our school library. Our students will be thrilled to add graphic novels such as The Narwhal and Dog Man Series. They will also be excited to check out I Survived, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, books about Dragons, and the Nat series. Having books where students can see themselves and that pique their interest is critical to building their love of reading. We are excited to stock our shelves with these books!
