My Project

First grade is a huge year for students learning to read. The best thing to motivate students to read is having books about things they love. I have chosen books based on my students' interests that they will love reading. Please help our students become great readers by providing them with a library full of books they will love. Thank you so much for donating to our classroom library. You are making the biggest impact on our students by providing books for them to read that they will enjoy over and over again.
