My Project

Students must keep up with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in reading. Education is changing every single day, and so are the interests of my students. Students at this age like to read about everything. As a first year teacher I do not have many books as I begin my career, so I would like to have books that will have my students wanting to read!

As a brand new teacher, having a supply of brand new books would really help me and my students to be able to learn and continue to grow.
