My Project

I am so proud of my students for all their hard work. My students range from 2nd graders to 5th graders and they have all been diagnosed with a disability that affects their reading abilities.

Students are now so excited to read books that they are constantly telling me it's time to add new titles to our classroom library.

I usually purchase a few books at a time whenever I can to add to our bookshelf, but it would mean a lot if we could get several collections of books added to give them a diverse selection to choose from.
