My Project

Do you remember escaping from the stresses of life and melting into a great book? It is with great pleasure witnessing my fifth and sixth grade students' eyes light up as they relate to characters in a book and choose to allow these authors to change their lives. Please help build my classroom library! There are many challenges teaching reading in a rural district. Help instill a love of reading in our students by providing us with exciting novels with strong characters that our students can emulate. All is well.
