My Students

My students in Shelby, NC love to read! I love seeing them get hooked on a series and read every single book. They beg me to go to the library and are so excited when I get new books in our classroom library.

My students come to school every day wanting to succeed, learn, and achieve their goals.

Every quarter students set individual goals they want to reach in their reading. And every two weeks we make classroom goals. We are a goal oriented class!

My Project

My third-grade classroom is in need of a new library. We need a place to store and organize our books for easy access! A bookshelf in our classroom will allow us to organize our books by interests, genre, and author.

Books take us all over the world and give us the chance to experience new adventures!

My third graders love reading and are so excited when new books arrive in the classroom.

With these new additions to our classroom, students will have a comfortable and educational library to enjoy. Please help my students grow, learn, and most importantly grab a great book to read!
