My Project

Our students are hardworking, determined, fun, and always ready to take on any challenge. They all come from different backgrounds, and they each bring something unique, amazing, and exciting to our school. Books are a way for students to escape reality and let their imaginations run wild. Our students love to read, and I enjoy getting to hear about the outstanding stories they have read. Needless to say, they have read almost every single book in our classroom library, so it is time for updating! I am so proud of our students and everything they have accomplished and overcome so far this year! "The more that you read, the more that you'll know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." - Dr. Seuss
