My Project

As our school year concludes, my third graders have worked endlessly at learning all of their standards and goals. Now, it is time for fun!

We would love graphic novels to help use to get out of reading ruts and to engage in reading in a fun, exciting, and new way!

We love to read and have tirelessly enjoyed series books and novels all year! We would love to have some time to laugh and hang out with our friends while we are inspired to make our own comic books in writing.
