My Project

The 2023-2024 school year will be the third year in a row that I'll teach most of my students. While my classroom library still excites me, for them, not so much. I need reading material that is going to grab preteens and not let them go.

The hilarious Kid Youtuber books are just at my students reading level and the fact-filled Eruptions books will help them extend their knowledge of a topic we covered this spring.

I am excited to be their teacher again. If you "like" (and subscribe to) my project, next year's reading time will be a blast!
