My Project

I am a teacher who believes that reading is the key to any successful start and I would love for my students to read and understand that they can explore the world through a book. Students are encouraged to always read in my class and at times they may not have access to the books they would like to read so in my class I would love to expose them to endless possibilities. Please help me bless these students with more choices to choose from as they grow, read and then lead.
