My Project

I teach a group of 5th and 6th grade students who are so sweet and kind! I would like to provide a reading library that will encourage and grow their love for reading.

I want to promote a love of reading.

Students who read every day will build stamina and comprehension. A positive attitude toward reading is especially important. I have high standards and encourage students to do well academically. If I can include habits that will help students be successful in school, then I can strengthen foundational learning as the students transition to middle school. Student success and confidence is my ultimate goal!

Ms. Sharon will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 15.
