My Project

These books will help my students learn about character and how understand their emotions. As teachers we are not just educators but we also want to create a fun and safe loving environment for our students.

I would love to make a memory book for my students.

This would allow them to reflect the amazing time they had in my class. The other supplies would be used for our daily needs. My students every year love reading books. Having these books will help build my own library for my students.
