My Project
My students are special in so many ways. They are smart, creative, and hysterically funny! My goal is for them to have a variety of books to choose from each day.
I want them to enjoy reading as much as me (if that's even possible!) and that means exposure to a multitude of books as often as possible.
These books will introduce them to a variety of topics and I hope that will encourage them to read more and think critically about the world around them. I've always heard "Reading is Fundamental," and I cannot wait to put some fun in their reading materials.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
