My Project

My students need more classroom books. We have a limited amount right now. I want to expand their choices and their imagination. My students deserve more choices. I want them to read some classics. I want them to laugh at Pigeon and Piggie and Elephant and Pete the Cat. School budgets are so tight. Students deserve more. My goal is to double the library in the special education room. I want more choices for them to read to me as part of their interventions. I want a bigger variety and to see the joy on their faces for new books.
