My Students

The students are craving the future. Our school is made up of the hardest working kids I have ever met. They are from all economic backgrounds and all ethnic groups.

The biggest and best thing we have in common is our sense of community at our school.

Students come in with a smile and a love of learning and growing all the time. I am so proud of my school and our family community and love to share and learn right along beside all of them.

My Project

I am asking for 7 copies of five great beginning chapter books to use in my small guided reading groups next year.

My students are just on the verge of breaking into literature with chapter books and need guided lessons.

I have all the lesson plans for these books and am just missing the books to go with them. My kids love to read and would benefit from reading and writing in a small group using chapter books and the skills we learned to read, write and relate to their own lives. Thank you so much for considering our project.
