My Students

I am hoping to encourage my students to always read wherever they are! My students are kind and love adventure and learning. They love to read about all different types of things and are willing to venture into new books and topics.

I also want to encourage students to read even when they cannot be in school physically.

This way, they can continue to develop their language arts skills and escape to far off places through their imaginations.

My Project

I want my students to love reading and to love reading all different genres of books. This is why having a big variety of books to choose from is very important.

Books can take students to far off places and ignite the imagination into unknown worlds.

This is why it is so important students have a great library of books to choose from. Part of the library will include non-fiction Native American books to help my 3rd graders have source materials when they study and research about different Native American tribes.

Thank you for making this possible for my 3rd and 4th graders. I know they will grow despite the COVID-19 pandemic because they can turn to good books to discover new interests and expand their worldviews.
