My Project

Books are such a wonderful resource and there are many homes that are not filled with books! Part of my job is to mold young minds. One way to accomplish this is to have a classroom full of books! Not only are having books important, getting students motivated to read books is also important.

My goal, as a teacher, is to have my students leave 5th grade enjoying to read!

This project came about after attending a reading conference. I need more books that spark children's interests. My students love graphic novels, Star Wars, picture books (Christmas), and Japanese characters known as Anime. With these books, I will gain at least 4 new readers in my classroom, just by having books they are interested in.
