My Students

I have the amazing opportunity to work with 25 wonderful Second Graders. They are showing up, working hard, and smiling through Distance Learning. I could not be more proud. I am finding that my students have an amazing appetite for reading!

My Project

My students continue their love for reading! Right now it can be challenging for my students to get a variety of new books. This project will provide the opportunity for me to get books into their hands and build their libraries.

My second graders are devouring books!

They love to discover new chapter books. It is wonderful to see how excited they are when we begin a new book together. When we finish one book they are ready for another.

This project will provide more books for my students to explore and read. I cannot wait to continue to share the joy of reading!

Mrs. McGinty, NBCT
Grades PreK-2
