My Project

Something I love about my students is their love for reading! I can’t quite seem to have enough books to catch their eye. Not to mention, I love any chance I can get to expose them to incredible authors that share beautiful books about the world and people! Having these award winning books would give them a teleport to other times and places that they can’t experience in our small town. A quote that I have by my classroom library say, “A reader lives a thousand lifetimes before they die.” As a first year teacher my library is loaded with well loved 2nd hand books. I’m always trying to get more books for my students to read and fall in love with.
