My Project

Having a library that gets kids excited about reading is a crucial part of my classroom! We learn so many foundational reading skills and they need a variety of books to put all those reading skills to good work. When they get to read books they are excited about it turns a skill into a lifelong habit.

Help me create lifelong readers!

With the power to read, my students will grow as independent learners who can really maximize their impact on the world! In addition, reading high quality texts helps them grow as writers and they become authors this year!
