My Project

I love seeing my students when they read a new book. I love to watch their faces as they read, and how the world around them becomes so silent as they get involved in the story they are reading. Books just seem to take them away from the everyday routine and they experience a new world. New books bring new worlds to my students, worlds that they may never be able to experience without them. Our library is very small, so keeping new books available like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Junie B. Jones, and Dog Man to my students is very important for their future.
