My Students

My students are the best students there are. They are often volunteering to help each other learn. They encourage learning from both themselves and others. Each of our students is amazing at a continued growth mindset, making even large challenges seem doable.

I teach creative students who strive to be problem solvers.

No one is required to bring in supplies, so sometimes we lack needed supplies to help everyday learning be both engaging and child-centered. Supplies can really help these students succeed.

They love art, STEM, science, and reading.

My Project

Help me get new exciting books to help engage my students in reading. Kids love reading interesting books. Some of these books are classics that have stood the test of time, and some have only recently been published. Finding the right story is the key to success in getting students interesting in the reading process.

Students who choose not to read, have not yet found the right book.

This project will expose them to different kinds of books in many different genres that can help expose my students to the world of reading.
