My Project

What I love most about my students is their curiosity creativity, and excitement for learning especially when it comes to reading and literacy. They light up when a story grabs their attention or when a new word finally clicks. Chair pockets will help stay organized, giving easy access to their books and materials so they can focus learning instead of searching for supplies.

Each resource supports their reading growth, builds independence, and helps create a calm, structured environment where every student can thrive and develop a lifelong love for literacy.
